Sue Porter.
"What do McGillycuddys do?" Well, McGillycuddy the kangaroo tells the farm animals, they can hop and jump and bounce and kick. What about making milk, growing wool, and laying eggs? "McGillycuddy couldn't!" But McGillycuddy can save her friend the duck from a hungry predator. The rhythmic text invites participation, and Porter's energetic illustrations can kick the stuffing out of story hour.
