Can you imagine Crocodile Dundee as an animal? Paddington Bear in shining armor? Or Winnie the Pooh on a noble steed? Meet Sir Sydney Dinkum a rascally koala bear from the Outback of Australia who believes he can be The World's Next Big Hero. Like Dr. Doolittle he has the super power to talk to all animals, including humans! Like Don Quixote, he believes it's his job to right the wrongs of the world! But is this just an Impossible Dream? Can a koala really be dubbed knight? Can a little marsupial armed with a boomerang make a difference in the world? Or will Sydney make a mess of things, as usual? The only way to find out is to join Sir Sydney Dinkum on his whacky adventures. Don't Delay! Add to Your Cart Today! Read More for Reviews and Testimonials!

Read an Excerpt
A noise from overhead stopped Sancho in his tracks. At first he thought it might just be his imagination, but as he took another step a voice called out, Please don't leave us! He scanned the surrounding trees but he couldn't see a thing. He'd never heard of talking trees, but on such a strange day as this he assumed anything was possible.
Just then Sydney returned. Come on, Sancho! We haven't got all day!
But, Sydney! cried Sancho, I think these trees are talking to me!
Sydney stared up into the thick blanket of leaves. Hello, he called. Is anyone up there or has my friend lost his marbles?
To both their amazement, a small boy dropped out of a nearby tree and landed just a few steps from where they stood. Hello, said the boy. My name's Chip Horn.
I see, said Sydney, and do you live all alone up there in that tree?
Chip giggled. Oh no, he said, my mother and father are up there as well. But they're too scared to climb down. I told them the crocodile was gone, but now they're not so sure about you.
