If your child loves reading and learning about animals, One Hot Mess, A Child’s Environmental Fable is what you're looking for. One Hot Mess, A Child's Environmental Fable is an early reader/picture book which I am certain will be enjoyed both by youngsters who are beginning readers, and parents who enjoy reading stories to them.

FITZROY, a young kangaroo, lives in the outback of Australia with his kangaroo family. This season the outback is greener than usual, and the beautiful plants growing against the red earth delight him. Then he notices the nasty pile of trash that sits alongside the railroad tracks. Every day it grows bigger and bigger, and gets smellier and smellier. Some of the little joeys are even getting sick! Fitzroy is determined to find a way to clean up the mess and ensure that it never collects in the outback again. But it’s a big job, too big to do by himself. How will he clean it up? Who might help him?         Fitzroy and the mob find that sometimes the help you need is right there beside you. You just have to have the courage to step forward and ask for it.
