The newest board book instalment of the bestselling "If I Had a..." series imagines what life would be like with a super-bouncy kangaroo for a pet.
Australia is full of wonderful wildlife, but what animal would make the best pet? Snakes can be scary, and a koala might give good hugs, but would be too clingy... But what about the bounciest, springiest animal of them all? Join our funny female protagonist and imagine... "if I had a kangaroo!"
With rollicking rhymes and bold illustrations, our creative protagonist imagines the hopping highs and lows of having a kangaroo for a pet.
Being an ace on the cricket pitch is a breeze, but hold on to your stomach during the school run – it's pretty bumpy being bounced around in a pouch! The book winds down to little girl drifting off to sleep, perfect for bedtime reading.
