'“It was a beautiful sunny morning in the Australian bush, where Mummy Kangaroo lived happily with her joey, Kevin. Today they were having their favourite breakfast of crisp fresh grass lightly covered with morning dew…”
'So begins Kevin’s Very First Adventure, a delightful tale about little joey Kevin and his big day out in the Australian bush. With a big hop, Kevin kisses his mum goodbye and sets off on a journey of excitement and discovery.
'Along the way he makes some brand new friends – Wally Wombat, who gives Kevin some helpful advice; a bilby, who scurries back into his home, as bashful bilbies are wont to do; and sleepy Mrs Koala, who teaches Kevin a thing or two about manners!
'As Kevin happily hops his way through the bush, night falls and suddenly he can’t remember his way back. But thankfully, mum’s good friend Kalinda Kookaburra has been keeping a watchful eye on the adventurous young joey and leads him home to mum.
'Kevin’s Very First Adventure is a delightful tale about the joy of making new discoveries and a wonderful introduction to the characters of the Australian bush. Written and illustrated by talented debut writer Kristine Lockett, it’s the perfect gift for 3-6 year olds in Australia and around the world.' (Publication summary)
