Summary

Two baby kangaroos,

one wacky inventor,

and a gigantic robot have a day at the zoo

no one will ever forget!

With no Mummy or Daddy to teach them to hop,

the zoo's baby joeys just wobble and flop.

Dr Try builds a robot to help them bounce high,

but when things all go wrong,

will their bouncing dreams fly?

So Much Fun - Adore this book!!

One of my favourite things to do - with or without the kids in tow - is to visit our local zoo, so when I spotted this book, I just had to grab it! Dr Try makes crazy robots and when she saw that the zoo had a problem, she was determined to help fix it. There was just so much I loved about this book! I love a rhyming story. It flows perfectly and is entertaining to read aloud - for both the reader and the listener! The story was also absolutely hilarious throughout. I especially liked the pages that kept us in suspense as to what the next few words would be!! Apart from being funny - the story actually had a great plot - sometimes children's books can be full of morales or lessons and that's great, but it's really nice just to have a really silly, fun story to read. Even better - If you do want a lesson from this, then that would be that it's ok to fail? Good things can still come from things that don't always go to plan. But I loved that this wasn't really forced into the words of the story at all, so could be read with or without being pointed out. The narration was brilliant!
I loved the enthusiasm and multiple crazy voices which were totally captivating!
This was also packed with amazing silly sound effects and music that had me chuckling the whole way through! A great book to play for the kids both at home and in the car - I know I'd be playing it over and over again!

**My only complaint about this book is that nobody wanted to buy the pig! Now come on!! Why not!? I adore pigs - especially because they only go "oink" and are pink!! So - I'll buy the pig!! He needs some love too! 🐷🐽💕**
