Kanga is a fictional character in A.A. Milne's books about Winnie-the-Pooh.
She is a very beautiful brown female kangaroo, just like her son Roo.
She is also a good friend to Winnie-the-Pooh and all the other residents of the Hundred Acre Wood.
She lives with Roo in a house near the Sandy Pit in the northwestern part of the Forest.
Tigger later comes to live with them, though only in the original storybooks.
She speaks Australian with an Australian accent.
Kanga and her son, Roo, come the forest "in the usual way" in Chapter VII of Winnie-the-Pooh.
She also appears in Chapter VIII, is mentioned in Chapter IX, and appears again in Chapter X of that book.
In The House at Pooh Corner, Kanga appears in chapters II, IV, VII, IX, and X, and is mentioned in a few others.
She is the only female character to appear in the books, though several other females are mentioned
Like most of the characters in Winnie-the Pooh, Kanga was based on a stuffed toy that belonged to Christopher Robin Milne.
Ernest H. Shepard's illustrations show Kanga with brown fur all over.
Like all female kangaroos, she has a pouch (usually called her "pocket" in the books).
Unlike an actual animal, however, Kanga's pocket apparently closes with a button.
Her pocket is apparently large enough for Very Small Animals like Roo (and in one instance, Piglet) to ride in.
Roo is a fictional character created in 1926 by A. A. Milne and first featured in the book Winnie-the-Pooh.
He is a young kangaroo (known as a joey) and his mother is Kanga.
Like most other Pooh characters, Roo is based on a stuffed toy animal that belonged to Milne's son, Christopher Robin Milne.
Though stuffed, Roo was lost in the 1930s in an apple orchard somewhere in Sussex.
Roo participates in the adventures of a teddy bear called Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends Piglet, a small toy pig; Eeyore, a toy donkey; Owl, a live owl; Rabbit, a live rabbit; and Christopher Robin, a human boy.
Roo is introduced in the chapter entitled "In Which Kanga and Baby Roo Come to the Forest and Piglet has a Bath." Roo's friend Tigger does not appear until the sequel, The House at Pooh Corner. He would subsequently appear in various cartoons and other adaptations.
