Hundred Acre Woods: Roo Traditional Cache

Roo is a playful, curious, happy-go-lucky child who can be quite
a handful at times. Roo is a joey (baby kangaroo) who stands at 10
inches in height. The illustrations made by Ernest H. Shepard's
show Roo to be a diminutive joey with brown fur and an upturned
tail. Roo loves to go bouncing with Tigger, playing Poohsticks and
playing in the sandy pit by his house. He also loves to get himself
into trouble but the good thing is that he always learns a lesson
from the mistakes he commits. Roo is amazingly enthusiastic and
cheerful, he loves to discover new things in life and his joy meets
no end upon discovering small little wonders along the way. When he
is happy he tends to use exclamations and shall repeat things over
and over again in excitement, which is a common phenomenon amongst
young children. Roo is capable of being able to expressing his
thoughts & feelings; he takes a loving and sympathetic view of
the world around him. Since he has a sympathetic view of the world
it is considered that Roo is much wiser than what his age suggests.
His favorite food is milk and likes most everything except extract
of malt, yet he will consume it with reluctance. Occasionally Kanga
will make watercress sandwiches for Roo.

Roo is the youngest amongst all the other characters that live
in the 100 Acre Wood. Due to his being a young animal his height
too is relatively small; smallest in the Winnie the Pooh stories
(that apart from Rabbit's relatives & friends, including
Alexander Beetle). It is amused that his size is quite similar to
that of Piglet, as Kanga is unable to differentiate whether Piglet
has jumped into her pouch in place of Roo. Actually Roo is so tiny
that at times he falls into the pot holes created by mice when he
is practicing who to jump and he also relatively small enough not
to be able to reach the 1st rail of the Poohsticks bridge.
