(2) PS Despite an encouraging audience, a baby kangaroo has trouble learning to jump. It turns out the joey is unable to mimic her mama because of what's in her pocket: "I have 1 sock, a candybar, 2 jacks, a toy dinosaur..." and so on. Illustrated with sunny watercolor and ink cartoons, the book ends with an exuberant pop-up spread designed to have preschoolers springing from their seats.
