CAN YOU JUMP LIKE A KANGAROO?
by Jez Alborough & illustrated by Jez Alborough
Can You Jump Like A Kangaroo? ($7.99; Aug. 1996; 12 pp.; 1-56402-880-1): Simple animal movements—the waggle of a tail, and the waddle of a walk—are the basis of this book (and its companion volume Can You Peck Like a Hen?, ISBN 1-56402-881-X). They're replicated so perfectly that even babies will be thrilled watching these big, approachable animals move. Sturdy pop-ups, hidden mechanisms, and heavy stock ensure that the kangaroo's leap can be repeated many times in the future. (Pop-up. 2-4)
