This is the story about a crocodile and a kangaroo who have a very unusual friendship.

The inspiration for this novel, I believe, has come from the never-ending interest in our kangaroos and saltwater crocodiles from people near and far. These two appear to attract more interest than most of our other animals. I heard on the radio that there was a need for more childrens books. This story reflects some of my loves: animals, the challenges of life, boiled fruit cake, the outback, and the interaction that can be achieved between animals and humans.

Nonfiction picture book teaches beginning number concepts by comparing the lengths of animal jumps.
