A Kangaroo Joey Grows Up


This book tells about the life of a kangaroo. It starts with the mother cleaning out her pouch for the baby. Then, the baby is born in the pouch, but it doesn't come out for six months. Children get to see a picture of a few days old kangaroo even though it has no fur. The book goes along as the kangaroo grows inside the pouch. It tells the stages of growth for every couple of months. It talks about the kangaroo hopping and when it can live outside the pouch. At the end of the book, there is a timeline to synthesize the material.
