A real long shot, but does anyone remember this children's book from early 1980s?

[Miss.September]

was it Dot and the Kangaroo???
sounds familiar to me too
try Ward Sagar Book shop in Eltham vic
they are a school book stockist and I am sure they will know it!
will do some research myself!!

Hahaha I was going to say that myself as an ex-employee!!!!!!

Ring Kay or email her - she has run the shop for 25 odd years and is brilliant at that sort of thing.

Andie - i have a link to a pic of the Around the world with Koa Koala but your inbox is full.. can you PM me???
See if it's the same one... fwiw i googled for images of books - koala in a balloon... also just use plain google, you might find it.

Wow ... my long shot may not have been such a long shot after all!

Thanks everyone. I know it wasn't a Koa Koala or Dot and the Kangaroo book. Partly because I remember both, but mainly because Koa keeps coming up I search online.

Det and PacRakMG - thanks for the heads up on the book shop. I'm going to hang 5 until Misty can shoot me through the name of the book at her parents place - it might be "the one". I'm sure if I had the name of this book I'd have no probs tracking it down.

Thanks again - all posts have been much appreciated

ETA - any my inbox is now clear
