Preschool Book Review - Katy No-Pocket
Poor Katy Kangaroo has no pocket to carry her baby in like the other mother kangaroos do. Little Freddy can't keep up with his mother when she hops. Katy asks all the other animals how they carry their babies, trying to find a solution to her problem.From the Preschool Book
"Big tears rolled down Katy Kangaroo's brown face. Poor Katy was crying because she didn't have a pocket like other mother kangaroos. Freddy was Katy Kangaroo's little boy and he needed a pocket to ride in. All grown-up kangaroos take awfully big hops and little kangaroos, like Freddy, get left far behind unless their mothers have nice pockets to carry them in. And poor Katy didn't have any pocket at all."About the Preschool Book
Katy Kangaroo is so sad because she has no pocket to carry her baby in. All of the other mother kangaroos have nice big pockets to carry their babies. Katy's son Freddy can't keep up when his mother hops. He needs to be carried. Katy asks all the other animals how they carry their babies. She hopes that one of them can help her solve her problem.The other animals carry their babies on their backs or in their arms. Poor Katy can't do that because Freddy's arms are too small to hold on to her back and Katy's arms are too small to hold Freddy. Other animals have their children walk behind them but Katy doesn't want Freddy to have to walk anymore. What will poor Katy do?
