Who Are You, Baby Kangaroo? was rediscovered by our four year old this weekend. As she was trying to figure out what book she wanted me to read to her, she came across this favorite from her toddler days. She was delighted to realize that this book was now within her grasp as an independent reading book.
Learning about animals is one of our preschoolers favorite pastimes. In this book, a little puppy wants to know what a baby kangaroo is called, but the kangaroo will not share the answer. Ultimately, the puppy goes on a journey to discover the name of baby kangaroo (a joey) and meets a multitude of animal friends and their babies along the way.
This book is filled with repetition and rhyme and almost has a musical quality when read aloud. The pictures are bright, colorful, and unique and really make the text come to life.
