Kanga and Roo are the inseparable Mother and Child. Even their names can't really be separated. Kanga is the classic mother. Often doing things without any real explanation, very attentive to Roo, and very hard to trick. Roo is the classic child. Never really sure why he has to do everything, but generally just takes it in stride. Understands what he needs to do, but isn't beyond doing something wrong a few times if he's already in trouble for the first time.My favorite Kanga-Roo story is Winnie-the-Pooh, Chapter VII, In Which Kanga and Baby Roo Come to the Forest and Piglet Has A Bath. Feeling that Kanga and Roo shouldn't be in the forest, Rabbit comes up with a plan to steal Baby Roo from Kanga's pouch, and put in Piglet instead. Like most of Rabbit's plans, this one backfires completely. Rabbit and Roo become good friends, and Piglet ends up getting Roo's bath.
