Age range 5 to 8 Kindness is like a boomerang -- if you throw it often, it comes back often. Kookoo the Kookaburra is the second heartwarming morality tale - set within the cultural context of theDreamtime -- by Queensland teacher Gregg Dreise. In the same vein as his first book Silly Birds (MagabalaBooks 2014) Dreise tells the story of Kookoo, a kind and well-loved kookaburra who is famous for entertainingthe other bush creatures with his funny stories. Everyone knows Kookoo has a special gift because he cantell funny stories about the other animals without hurting their feelings. However, when Kookoo runs out ofkind stories he turns to teasing and making fun of his friends' differences.Refusing to listen to the sage advice of his uncle, Kookoo gradually alienates all his friends until he findshimself alone and ignored by the other animals. When he finally listens to the sounds of his own laughterechoing around the bush and realises it has become an unhappy sound, Kookoo is forced to remember hisuncle's words and change his ways -- kindness is like a boomerang -- if you throw it often, it comes backoften.
