Three kangaroo brothers decide one day to cross the bridge to greener pastures, when they each encounter a mean, hungry and slightly dim-witted bunyip. The two smaller two kangaroos use their wits to escape the monster by promising a bigger, tastier meal on its way (their bigger brother!), quite politely saying things such as: 'Mr Bunyip, I am quite small. Wait till my bigger brother comes, He is both fat and tall.' Finally the bunyip gets his comeuppance and the kangaroos all graze happily ever after. A funny, entertaining tale, with delightful illustrations from Janine Dawson.
