Kangaroos Hop helps children identify favourite Australian animals in the Australian landscape. The kangaroos hop, the butterflies fly, the echidnas shuffle across the land and down to the water's edge where a sleepy crocodile lies. Shhhh! The lively illustrations and cumulative text help readers identify animals as well as verbs.
