Illustrated by
Clare Beaton.
In awkward singsongy rhyme a puppy travels around the world and asks baby animals if they know the name of a baby kangaroo. Animals such as penguins, wolves, and zebras make appearances, and a glossary details each creature's habitat and family characteristics. Illustrations rendered in fabrics accented with sequins, buttons, and bric-a-brac add an appealing tactile effect.
