Kangaroo Crush - Ian Worboys, Silke Diehl

Kangaroo Crush is part of the Crush series, a beautifully illustrated series of rhyming children’s books. 
  Imagine a world where colorful animals live and play enjoying the sun and looking for food while trying to avoid becoming lunch themselves. The Crush Series demonstrates interconnectedness by sharing humorous stories in which each animal's action can affect all the characters in the story. The books are full of hilarious situations where the unexpected can and will happen. The Crush Series are a humorous look at how one situation can influence another situation and that even then something else completely unexpected may affect the whole outcome. The books are full of hilarious situations where the unexpected can and will happen in order to save the day.   The story begins with a relaxed koala enjoying eating his eucalyptus leaves as he watches the world go by. Between stretching, crawling and yawning, Koala watches as things get interesting! A munching bug, a water dragon lizard, an emu, and a mother kangaroo with her joey all then enter the story. The irresistible and humorous illustrations capture the wild beauty and vitality and what is unique and wonderful about these small and large creatures. Using gentle rhyme and humor the book explores the circle of life, and the diversity and fantastic colors of the fauna and landscape of Australia.
