Hippity Hoppity the White Kangaroo is a story for children from five to twelve years of age. Hippity Hoppity the White Kangaroo was rescued as a joey after his mother died, and a very kind mother and daughter looked after him in their suburban home, until he grew too big and they had to let him go in the bush to try to fend for himself. Hippity Hoppity the White Kangaroo was almost caught by illegal animal trappers, and he told his brown snake friends, Hiss and Swish, that they were still following him. Hiss and Swish thought they would help their friend and scare the men away. Unperturbed, the two ugly animal trappers, who were brothers with red beards, came back a week later and trapped Hippity Hoppity the White Kangaroo and his friends, Hiss and Swish. Hiss and Swish managed to escape and managed to get two wildlife rangers to follow them. They then find lots of illegally trapped Australian animals.
