Description

The heartwarming tale of a brave kangaroo and her joey, inspired by true stories of courageous animal rescues around Australia, from the bestselling creators of Tippy and Jellybean.

Mango and Hopscotch live in a beautiful tropical forest on the banks of a big river. Together, they munch on grass and lounge in the shade.

One day, while the mob graze quietly, drops of rain start to fall. Lightning flashes, thunder rumbles. Soon it is pouring. And then the river bursts its banks...

Inspired by amazing true stories, this is the tale of a brave kangaroo and her joey rescued from floodwaters.
