Australian SF Reader
A good children's bush tale, complete with violence and death, but, of course, a happy ending, with a conservation theme. A little girl gets lost in the bush, and a kangaroo, looking for her own child, befriends her, and shows her a fruit she can eat to gain the ability to talk to all the bush wildlife.

A different children's book
Dot and the Kangaroo is a book that I grew up with.It is a beautiful children's book about a girl in the australian outback.The illustrations are beautiful and the story is very exciting, but can be just a little bit scary in parts, so I would probally wait until the child is 4-5 to read it to them.It is a wonderful book and also is a great way to expose children to different cultures and animals.I am definately going to read it to my daughter once she is old enough. ...
