The absolute best!

If I could afford it, I would give this book to all my friends with kids. This book is darling - the absolute best. We love it. The illustrations are gorgeous. The story has true depth and is so sweet and meaningful. A real classic. A gem!

A return of an old friend

This was a surprise when my daughter picked it out. I had forgotten this wonderful story from my childhood.

It's a great story about the troubles of Katy as she can't carry around her kid since she has no pocket. She goes on a quest seeking the advice of other animals and eventually goes to the city to find a pocket.

Surprisingly, my daughter got concerned about the end and what will happen to other animals as Katy put them into her new pockets. The pictures of the kangeroo crying might bother some rather sensitvie children but overall it's a wonderful story that will be requested to be read several times.

Awesome

This is a great book to add to my collection of books to be used in my zoo unit. I teach first grade and I'm always on the lookout for books to add to my classroom library. This one is really a good one to use for teaching fiction/nonfiction since it has a fictional story along with some facts about kangaroos. Thanks!!!!

Katy's distress at being a kangaroo with no pouch is quickly remedied by a kindly construction worker.
