When Neville can't surf as well as his friends, he builds a self-surfing surfboard. But it soon lands him in hot water. Wannabe-hero joey Pounce, creative koala Frizzy, sports-phobic wombat Neville and mini-marine biologist and platypus Gemma are never far from fun - or danger - at Kangaroo Beach. But under the guidance of grown-up lifeguards Bondi, Sandy and Big Trev, the cadets soon become pint-sized heroes of sun, sea and sand. Kangaroo Beach explores the familiar world of water play - on the beach, in the sea, in swimming pools, rivers and rock pools, with an essential message about water safety in every story.
