Description - Alice the Kangaroo by Jeremy Southern

Ages 3 to 6 years. Alice is a kangaroo keen to keep up with her mob. But theres one problem: shes hop-challenged, and gets left behind, covered in red dust when the others bound away across the Outback. Aside from that, she has a hungry joey in her pouch who needs looking after. Whats a mum kangaroo to do? Looking up to the sky for inspiration, she spots Gary the Galah, an expert on kangaroo tracking -- if he says so himself. Gary finds Alices mob in no time and comes up with an ingenious solution to Alices problem of keeping up: springs on her feet! Just when Alice is catching up, she and her joey are encircled by a fearsome bushfire. Alice saves the day, and her heroism is recognised by having a town named after her. Any guesses what that might be? This bounding tale in clever rhyme is certain to keep young readers enchanted from start to finish.
