Discusses the kangaroo family, their characteristics and behavior, and, in particular, the experiences of an Australian couple with an orphaned baby kangaroo during his first year in which they prepared him to be on his own.
This book presents facts about kangaroos and wallabies, describing the various areas they live in, the food they eat, and their movements in traveling long distances.
When motherless Lamb and childless Kangaroo find and adopt each other, they come to realize that their awkward differences are not nearly as important as their love for each other.
