Review

 

This is a sweet children’s book that contains several messages to the young reader that are outlined to the reader at the end of the book.

“…we can overcome any challenge when we work together.”

“…bravery and quick thinking are crucial in the face of danger.”

“…discipline, focus and determination are powerful allies.”

 

These three scrappy kangaroos are brave, smart, and resourceful when solving the crisis at hand.  This book reinforces to the reader that working together can help resolve most issues, but at the same time, makes it fun with the lesson coming from taekwonderoo kangaroos.

The book would be an easy read for a slightly older child, but it is a wonderful book for parents to read to younger children.

The illustrations are gorgeous and depict the story quite well. The colors are robust and reflective of Australia’s Outback.

We give the book 5 paws up.
