Polly Hopper's Pouch

32 pp. | Dutton | March, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-525-46525-1 $$14.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lina Chesak-Liberace. Curious Polly Hopper the kangaroo wonders why she has a pouch when none of her other animal friends do; all of her initial attempts to carry things in it, such as library books, loaves of bread, and peaches, fail. By the end, she knows the answer when she and her husband, Topper Hopper, have a baby, Minny. Lively pastel illustrations depicting an Australian setting add interest to this slim story.
