This has to be one of the wierdest bedtime story books I have encountered since Dr Seuss!
As something suitable to read to children, I guess there is nothing wrong with it, and my son sure thought it was "really funny, daddy"... but it just struck me as something really strange indeed.
You could think of it as "Footrot Flats" meets "Dr Doolittle"...
Overall, your kids will love it, and you will probably find it entertaining too. :)

What do kangaroos jumping around Egyptian camps, monkeys swinging from masts, dogs ducking for cover, and camels chewing their cud amidst the sound of gunfire have in common? They went to war!
Who knew our soldiers had such a variety of animal companions in the two world wars? Apart from the "beasts of burden" that one might expect, such as horses, mules, donkeys and camels, many battalions had mascots as well: kangaroos, monkeys, dogs, chickens, tortoises, cats ... all of whom provided comfort, companionship, and a welcome distraction from the war.
