Hazel, the Hoppity Kangaroo (Paperback)

Hazel, a lovely young kangaroo, hops excitedly through the blue hills and grasslands of the Australian outback, on her way to the birthday party of her best friend, Jumper. Nestled in her pouch for safe keeping is a special gift she has purchased from Mr. Koala's Shop. However, in the grasses amongst the gum trees lurks hidden danger! Demon the Dingo is sure to make Hazel's journey a perilous one; can Gerald the eagle come to her rescue? Author Shirley Aldrick, who brought you Tobias and the Pale, Pale Leprechaun, draws on her own experiences of growing up in the Australian countryside for this new story. Her background as a long time educator gives her special insight into the minds of youth across the world. This lovely story will appeal to children of all ages. Aldrick plans to release more works of children's literature in the near future, including a collection of delightful poetry created for the young at heart.
