The Kookaburra Who Couldn’t Laugh: And Other Stories

The Kookaburra Who Couldn’t Laugh and Other Stories is a series of six lighthearted stories about Australian native animals–a koala, a kangaroo, an emu, a wombat, and an echidna. All the stories are told in the voice of the baby animal and provide educational information about each of these species and how they raise their young. They are part humorous, part informative, and part with a moral to the story as shown in the titles: The Koala Who Hated Gum Leaves, The Kangaroo Who Preferred to Skip, The Wombat Who Didn’t Like Digging, The Emu Who Wanted to Fly, and The Echidna Who Didn’t Like Ants.
