Drought Kangaroo

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Following on from The Fire Wombat and The Turtle and the Flood, The Drought Kangaroo is the third title in the series that focuses on animals and the challenges they face in environmental disaster, be it fire, flood, and now drought.

Drought has devastated Joseph the kangaroo's home. He longs for green grass and the cool, clear water he can smell in the distance.

Kangaroos can leap higher and further than any other animal, but can even Joseph's strong hind legs help him reach the waterhole? And will the new mob there accept a stranger?

Created by Jackie French and Danny Snell, the award-winning duo of The Fire Wombat and The Turtle and the Flood, this is a true story about a young kangaroo who went on the longest journey of his life and ended up living by a creek on Jackie's property.
