Long before he hopped across the Australian plains, Old Man Kangaroo was a small, woolly creature with an oversized opinion of himself. Determined to be different from all other animals—and wonderfully run after—he makes his wish to the powerful god Nqong. The answer arrives not by magic words or gentle spells, but in the form of an endless chase led by the ever-hungry Yellow-Dog Dingo. Across deserts, salt-pans, grasslands, and rivers, Kangaroo runs, leaps, and finally hops—his legs stretching longer, his balance shifting, his shape forever altered by necessity.

These ghostly tales are all based on ones Dawe himself has collected across the province over the years, include tales of ghostly galleons, of unsettling graves, of strange omens and fetches; an eerie tale of a notoriously haunted house; and another of a ghostly sled dog that returns to save its master lost in a blizzard.

Bagpuss, dear Bagpuss, old fat furry cat-puss, wake up, wake up and look at this thing that I bring... Bagpuss, created by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin, is no ordinary cat. Bagpuss, the sleepy old cloth cat, lives in a shop owned by Emily, where lost and broken things are brought to be "mended". When Emily brings an object to Bagpuss, he and his friends wake up, ready to discover its secrets. Professor Yaffle shares his wisdom, Madeleine sings, Gabriel plays his banjo, and the mice add their fun ideas.

A man whose hands shook with the tremors of old age could not eat neatly and often spilled his soup, so his son and daughter-in-law barred him from their table and made him eat by the stove. When he broke the fine stoneware bowl from which he had been eating, they bought him a wooden bowl that could not break.

"Listen," whispered Jimmy Skunk to Peter Rabbit as the strange howling sound echoed through the Green Forest. But Peter was listening. He had never heard anything like it. The sound made cold chills run up and down his backbone. What could it be? Children will love finding out as Peter Rabbit, Jimmy Skunk, Prickly Porky, Granny Fox, Reddy Fox, and other dwellers in the Green Forest react to a new — and scary — neighbor. All ends happily, of course, in this timeless fable by noted storyteller Thornton W. Burgess.

Welcome to ’Me & My Old Man,’ an experience, and now podcast(!) that shares the journey of this project to capture and celebrate the unique life, laughs, insight and reflections of our parents. Think of it like an audiobook, where the child—or children—set the chapters, the parent is the narrator, and the story is about their life: before kids, with kids, and now. The podcast series will feature excerpts from the life stories captured, solo episodes, interviews with storytellers, researchers and experts in life storytelling, psychology, sociology and family relationships. ’Me & My ...

In The Adventures of Old Man Coyote, Peter Rabbit hears a new sound that frightens him and the other animals of the Green Forest. The sound is that of a new predator in the Green Forest, Old Man Coyote. Granny and Reddy Fox don’t want competition in the Green Forest and try to trick him into leaving the forest. But Old Man Coyote proves himself to be very clever and fair.

Joe Davis was in his mid-40s when he became a father, and the experience he was able to apply in raising his sons lent creativity to his parenting. The five stories here recall the wisdom of fathers with humor and rich detail: a visit to the Smithsonian inspires father's memory; father "cures" a boy's impulse to try cigarettes; Santa Claus learns an important lesson; and someone plays a trick on a visiting preacher.

The kangaroo once ambulated on four legs. This charming story by Rudyard Kipling, and wonderfully narrated by Phillip J. Mather tells us how the kangaroo became the marsupial we know today.

Kipling’s classic tale taken from the Just So Stories. Kangaroo was once a short woolly animal with short legs, but after being chased all day across the outback by dingo, he learns to hop and develops big strong back legs.

Nashemu staromu kenguru bylo vechno zharko; no v te vremena, o kotoryh ja govorju, on byl sovsem drugim zver'kom i begal na chetyreh koroten'kih nogah. Shkurka u nego byla seraja, pushistaja, i on otlichalsja gordym nravom. Stranno, on bol'she vsego gordilsja tem, chto tanceval na gornoj ploshhadke v centre Avstralii.

This is a story from the Just So Stories collection.
