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, and 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. Bilbies, quirky quokka, even cousin koala appear to help solve the food problem. Zoology, reading, and language skills are just a few assets hopping from this Aussie kingdom tale.

"Stunningly illustrated, this book is a unique publishing
experience designed to capture children's attention but will
educate and entertain the nature lover and explorer in all of us.
If your child has a fascination to learn about the world's animals
or the places they live, you'll find it in this book. Arkinsly
introduces a small cast of exciting animal characters that are
unique to Australia. It brings you an unparalleled snapshot of some
of Australia's most amazing little critters that live in the land
down under."Some of the rarest and most lovable animals, Wombats,
Quokkas, Koalas, Bilbies, and Wallabies, provide a great
introduction to the animal kingdom's diversity, and Arkinsly adds
in a bit of Aussie slang to make her story even more
authentic."This cute, well-designed Australian Children's Book for
young kids featuring hand-drawn artwork by Yolanda Van Heerden of
cute Wombats, Quokkas, Koalas, Bilbies, and Wallabies is simply a
fun book to share with your children!" - Dave

"Young readers will get more than an exciting story when they read
Roo's Fine Flapping Day-a new chapter book by Auralee Arkinsly.
They will also learn about the Land Down Under as well as some fun
Australian lingo. If that isn't enough, readers will also learn a
good moral lesson, much like the ones we find in Aesop's Fables." -
