PS
Little kangaroo Joey wants to explore. Once outside Mama's pouch, though, he's not quite so daring, and his encounters with unfamiliar creatures (a bee, rabbit, etc.) send him hopping back to Mama's protection. Together, Stein's minimal, to-the-point text and breezy mixed-media illustrations convey Joey's energy and swing of feelings, from bravery to anxiety and back.
