Paddy Omelon
Paddy O’Melon is the endearing story of a young rainforest kangaroo. Separated from his mother as a joey, he tries to find out what he really is from the other rainforest animals. But none of them can help him. It’s not until he meets the cassowary that he manages to find out both his identity and the way home.
Paddy O’Melon is the endearing story of a young rainforest kangaroo. Separated from his mother as a young joey, Paddy is found and raised by an Irish family who live in the rainforest and often help orphaned or injured animals.
But while Paddy loves his new human family, he’s curious to find out what he really is. So, he sets out on a journey into the rainforest where he meets a range of other interesting animals — from musky rat-kangaroos to green tree frogs, from ringtail possums to flying-foxes.
But all he really wants is to be reunited with his mother and his own kind. Perhaps the cassowary can tell this little red-legged pademelon who he really is and take him safely home?
