Roobee Roo: Under the stars by Nico and Candy Robertson

Another in the highly entertaining series of board books about Roobee Roo and her magic pouch is presented in this book Under the stars in which Roobee Roo and her friends go camping.

Her pouch is full of things that people take with them when going caping, so the young readers will be excited to see what happens. Some may have been camping and so predict what might happen to Roobee Roo and her friends, while for others it will be a new experience. Over the pages, Roobee Roo and Quizzy collect sticks nad leaves and make their own bush stew, and are very grateful when Mum makes a real one. Quizzy is with her family in a campervan, a different way of camping than Roobee Roo who has put up her tent by herself. The two sing and dance before meal time and are thrilled when Dad gives them roo-mallows to toast over the fire. When it is dark a torch is shone into the night sky to see the stars. And Roobee Roo goes to bed in her sleeping bag zipped up tightly with fluffy parrot in her pouch.

Themes: Camping, Tents, Night sky, Humour.
