Books with title Sue the Kangaroo

A little kangaroo is sent to earth as a messenger of the Gods, who give him the ability to speak and act like humans, in order to convey a message to mankind. The message? "Man's inhumanity to animals must stop." In other words, "Animal abuse must come to an end, or mankind will face an unavoidable consequence of an uprising of all creatures great and small, who will form an alliance and wage war against mankind." Our little kangaroo is completely unaware of his mission, and all he wants to do, like any other child, is have fun. But during his quest for fun, the animals he meets, tell him some shocking things, and ask for his help.

Meet Roo, a quirky, curious cat with a loud purr that can be heard across the room and long legs that let him jump high. Roo has a home he loves, but much to his dismay, the other neighborhood cats shun him because he seems different. One day he wanders off on an adventure, and what begins as fun suddenly turns frightening. He finds himself in an unknown part of the neighborhood, caught in the lures of a steel trap, with no hope of ever reaching home again. He cannot get out of the cage without outside help. But will someone find him and rescue him? Like Roo, children often discover that a person they meet is different, unique, or special, which then affords opportunities to explore deeper meanings of acceptance, friendship, and receiving help from others. Children of all ages will enjoy this lyrical tale of Roo, the Kangaroo Cat. The discussion questions at the end are designed to help children open up about their feelings and to apply the story's concepts to their young lives.

This series describes animals that were once thought to be myths or hoaxes. This book looks at the kangaroo: the first time it was reported to the Western world, the public and scientific community's reaction to it, the search for evidence, how the animal was finally recognised as a real species, and its current status today. There is also some information about the kangaroo's life and what makes it special or different.
