Illustrated by
Patricia J. Wynne.
In this companion to Hello, Baby Beluga, Lunde informs readers about wallaroos, a kind of kangaroo, in a simple direct-address question-answer format, with one exchange per double-page spread: "Mama Wallaroo, how tall are you?" "I am about three feet tall." A final smaller-print spread provides additional wallaroo facts. Pale browns, grays, and greens dominate the quiet illustrations, set in the Australian bush.
