The Sing-Song of Old Man Kangaroo - Just So Story No 9 (Paperback)

This story is about wanting to be famous. It features Old Man Kangaroo who, in his younger days, dances and sings in the Middle of Australia hoping a fan will notice how special he is and follow him everywhere. He eventually gets his wish granted, but maybe not quite in the way he expected. Sheila has brought Kipling's Classic work into the C21st without losing any of his poetry or humour. Brilliantly illustrated with four large full colour images per double page spread, theses books make ideal bedtime reading either with an adult or alone. A few simple notes at the back help to clarify some of Kipling's trickier words and phrases and also give a few ideas for creating stories of your own.
