- Book Synopsis
- Spotty Walloo loved to cook, Big Walloo loved to build, Old Walloo loved to tell stories, and Little Walloo loved to grow plants... On a small, rocky island, live the Walloos: Big Walloo, Spotty Walloo, Old Walloo and Little Walloo. Old Walloo loves to tell stories about his adventures, and Little Walloo can't wait to have her first adventure, too! So when the family travel together to a tropical island, Little Walloo can't believe her eyes. WOW! The air is so moist and fresh, the plants so tall and green. But when some of the gang begin picking the island's leaves and plants, Little Walloo gets a funny feeling... Something is not quite right. What is that GURGLE-GURGLE-WURGLE sound? And is the island ... moving? From the author-illustrator of Little Green Donkey and That Fruit Is Mine! comes a heart-warming, funny and timely story with a gentle eco message about protecting and respecting the natural world.
