Roo's Fine Flapping Day
Description
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.

About the Author
Reviews
"Let the feathers fly! This story delivers both humor and problem-solving delightfully set in the outback with marsupials." - Kathy Joy, children's author
"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 @AuthorsReading.com
"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." - Crystal Bowman
