Description

This book in the bestselling If I had... series imagines life with a kangaroo as a pet. With rollicking rhymes and bold illustrations, this charming bedtime story follows a little girl's flight of fancy as she imagines the advantages and disadvantages of having a kangaroo as a pet. Being an ace on the basketball court is a breeze, but hold on to your stomach during the school run - it's pretty bumpy being bounced around in a pouch!

'Beautifully told in poetic form and depicted in child engaging pictures in bold colours ... a fabulous book that adults will enjoy as much as their children' - Parenting Without Tears 'Little readers will love the colourful illustrations, filled with humorous details and fun scenes of the Australian outback ...The light-hearted rhyming prose is a joy to read aloud too, and will have children in fits of giggles!' - @littlelibraryowl
