Kookoo is a kind and well-loved kookaburra who is famous for entertaining the other bush creatures with his funny stories.
One day Kookoo runs out of kind stories to tell, and he turns to teasing and making fun of the other animals. Refusing to listen to the sage advice of his Uncle, Kookoo finds himself alone and ignored by his friends.
When he listens to the sound of his own laughter, it is an unhappy sound.
Finally, he remembers his Uncle's words "Kindness is like a boomerang - if you throw it often, it comes back often..."

Testimonials
"I received my order of books and finger puppets this week. This is a snipet from our daily journal outlining how we utilised these beautiful resources. Our room is called the kookaburras room.
(Daily Journal Snippet) This morning for group time Bec shared some new Aboriginal stories and finger puppets with the kookaburras. Funny enough our story today was called Koko kookaburra. Koko kookaburra was a Dreamtime story about why the kookaburra laughed and continued the saying that kindness is like a boomerang when it goes out it is certain to come back. This was after Koko was laughing AT his friends rather than laughing WITH his friends. We had discussions about the difference between laughing with our friends and laughing at them, with most of the kookaburra children agreeing its better to laugh with our friends than at them. We linked this into our bucket story throughout questioning if Koko and his friends had full buckets or empty buckets. Later several of Becs new Dreamtime stories along with animal finger puppets were placed on the table for the kookaburra children to explore."
