Part 1:
The dry grasslands of Australia are perfect for. . . Hopping!
Kangaroos love to hop. Their long, useful tails help them steer and balance as they bounce across the land.
Everyone hops! The bucks, the does, and the joeys just big enough to leave the pouch.
All across the continent, they hop – from Western Australia all the way to New South Wales – even on the tiny island of Tasmania. They hop past their marsupial friends – the koalas, the bandicoots, and the spotted-tailed quolls. And in Tasmania, they hop past Tasmanian Pademelons.
One day, Jemma, a little girl joey, noticed her friend Poppy the pygmy possum’s pretty tail.
“Oh, it’s lovely,” she told Poppy as Poppy preened, curling her tail like a corkscrew around a tiny twig.
