And the 'Roo Jumped over the Moon

Willie spied a wallaby hopping through the fern—
Here a jump, here a thump, there a sudden turn.
Willie called the wallaby, begging him to stop,
But he went among the wattles with a
flip,
Flap,
FLOP!
—CJ Dennis

And the ‘Roo Jumped over the Moon is a special blend of children’s stories
and poems written by Australian writers for Australian children. From the city
to the farm, from the beach to the bush, we meet Australian wildlife—both
real and fanciful—as well as a wonderful cast of Australian characters
doing everyday and out-of-the ordinary things.
