Dot and the Kangaroo is a children's fantasy novel written by Ethel C. Pedley, first published in 1899. The story follows the adventures of a five-year-old girl named Dot, who is lost in the Australian outback. The kind grey kangaroo who takes care of Dot on their adventures gives her special berries, so she can understand and talk to all the creatures in the bush. Their journey takes them deep into the outback where she meets various Australian animals, including a koala, a wallaby, a kookaburra, and a platypus, who all teach Dot about the importance of the true value of the land and the animals that live there. Dot seems to find more than just her way home in the story as she comes to understand how important it is for everyone including our animals, birds, our land and habitat to have protection and a sense of identity that they have since lost due to the arrival of Europeans.
