Hello, Mama Wallaroo
Audio book about a walleroo, all facts, where it lives, cares for the young, what it eats.
Similar to the kangaroo, with big ears and feet and only 3 feet tall.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

A non-fiction book about this Australian marsupial similar to a kangaroo, Hello, Mama Wallaroo is definitely introducing some rare vocabulary (wallaroo as well as “joey” for wallaroo babies, “graze,” “dingoes,” “pouch,”) as well as telling children (in Canada) more about different places in the world and what kind of animals lives there. The book has a question and answer kind of structure in which the wallaroo speaks in the first person, talking about what she looks like, where she keeps her babies, etc., so it could provide a fun opportunity to do different playful voices. The actions the wallaroo does (hopping, eating, sleeping) also provide opportunities to get the kids moving a bit and doing some playful, pretend actions. The last page that talks about the babies but doesn't have illustrations of them is a bit of a dud though.
