Summary:

The kangaroo and the real teddy bear are two animals who live side by side. The kangaroo is good at hopping across the land. The real teddy bear climbs well, straight up and down. The kangaroo is special, and the real teddy bear is special. This is a story about true friendship. It takes the koala bears seven years to learn to use the circus equipment they find and to put together an act.
