Description

First Place Recipient of the Pencraft Children's Fable Awards

At the Flaky Acres Feather Farm, Roo-wallaby catches Roo-rooster plucking out the oily black seeds from a lemony sunflower.

This would be fine except there's been a long, hot drought. Small Babba-Roo needs to feed.

When Roo-rooster calls for help, grouchy Captain Quokka appears. Can he make peace? He is a cousin of Roo-wallaby.

Everywhere Roo-rooster turns, another wallaby cousin appears. What will happen when the ground begins to shake and the claws and bare nose of a wombat appear?

Nocturnal marsupials and macropods abound at Flaky Acres. Bouncy bilbies, quirky quokka, even cousin koala appear trying to help solve the problem. Zoology, reading, and language skills are just a few delightful assets hopping from this Aussie kingdom tale.
