Each time Lily gets in trouble for leaving the water running or teasing her little brother, she blames her stuffed animal, Blue Kangaroo. Finally, Lily's mother puts the toy away. During the night Blue Kangaroo writes a note of apology to Lily's mother, who thinks it's from Lily, even though this time Lily accurately gives Blue Kangaroo the credit. Energetic illustrations help create the enjoyable blending of reality and fantasy.
