Product Description

Riley, Cousin Alice, Aunt Martha, and Uncle Max visit the Australian Outback where they research the local koala population, which has scattered and shrunk due to increased drought, brush fires, and farming in the Outback. While staying at a working sheep station, they see kangaroos, a platypus, Ayers Rock, and much more. Riley becomes an official Jackaroo (Australian cowboy) and helps save the sheep from a wild dingo, but can he find a way to save the koalas and the Outback?

Calling all Jackaroos and Jillaroos!5
Our family loves going on adventures with Riley and this one was no exception. Riley visits a sheep station in the Australian outback and sees firsthand how the destruction of the eucalyptus trees have led to dwindling koala population.

As usual this books covers beautiful blend of photography and illustration along with animal facts presented by real scientists. This series is a must have for every nature loving kid.
