Sophie stopped in her tracks. She stared at the little group of animals and they in turn, simply stared back. Sure enough, just as Mummy had described, there was a kangaroo, a koala, a cassowary, and a bush turkey. Sophie looked up as a flutter of feathers wafted to the ground. High in the trees she caught a glimpse of a galah.It was Rocky-Ali who broke the silence. "Greetings, friends.""Greetings," replied the odd little group of animals."Is this her?" inquired the koala in a hushed voice. "This is the best book I have ever read! (Although I did think that Koala character was a bit serious)"
