That said, when I just received my copy from Amazon, I saw it had been changed from the 1959 version my daughter had checked out of our local library. While the story is essentially the same, just be forewarned that the wording throughout has been changed in many places.The most notable is the change to the ending:ORIGINAL:The director gave her a signed paper releasing Leon. They were married soon after. Long live the happy couple! Leon and Adelaide had many children. With her fine family and good friends Adelaide was completely happy.NEW VERSION:The director gave her a signed paper and Leon was released. Soon, they were married. Leon and Adelaide had many children - they were the most striking family of kangaroos the world had ever seen! Adelaide was truly happy and realized that her adventures could have only happened with her special set of wings." ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A MUST-HAVE *by S***3 on Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2013* My best friend is 2 weeks away from delivering her baby, a girl she is naming Adelaide. I ran across this book, never heard of it, and bought it for her. It's adorable. I thinkit's a very unique book and unlike any children's book I've ever seen - and I worked in a daycare for many years. It's a book that is meant to inspire independence and confidence in children.IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE ORIGINAL VERSION,THIS IS NOT IT. I know a lot of people are upset that this version of the book has a different ending that the original book. If you are looking for the original, this is not it. However, as someone who had never heard of the book until I searched the name Adelaide - I still enjoy it and find it to have a positive message for kids! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A delightful tale *by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2011* This charming book tells the tale of a winged kangaroo who leaves home to see the world and finds a life for herself in Paris. Adelaide's story contains themes of friendship, self-sacrifice, the kindness of strangers and the importance of striving for happiness in one's life. Ungerer's childlike drawings are clever and the blue and tan color palette is quite soothing. An endearing read your children will enjoy for years to come. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/3051632-adelaide-the-flying-kangaroo-hardcover-picture-book-march-30-2011](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/3051632-adelaide-the-flying-kangaroo-hardcover-picture-book-march-30-2011) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
