Summary

Written by Murray Rutledge and narrated by Amy Hays, with Jess Irvine. It had started out like any other night for Peewee the Kiwi and his mates; scratching for bugs under the moonlight and calling out to one another across the bush. This particular night, however, they were to get the surprise of their lives. A kangaroo was hiding in the bush! What's more, he was lost and upset. He wanted to go home. Peewee and his mates knew they must help him... but how? Suitable fo children aged between 3 – 8 years old.
