A baby kangaroo explores the world but always returns to the safety of his mama's pouch.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 1—Stein continues to create deceptively simple yet very affecting picture books. One day, little Joey peeks out of Mama Kangaroo's pouch and says, "I want to hop!" Each time he leaves his safe haven, he takes more steps, meets a strange new animal, yells out "Pouch!," and hops back to his mama to hide. But when the final animal is another little joey who also yells "Pouch!," the two realize there is nothing to fear, have a good laugh, and hop off together. When their mamas offer their pouches, the youngsters say, "No, thanks." The marker, watercolor, and crayon illustrations are rendered in Stein's trademark simple, scribbly, loosely drawn style. The increasing distances Joey hops from his mother are clearly represented with increased page turns and use of perspective. Stein's choice of easily identifiable animals (a bee, a rabbit, and a bird) is particularly apropos, giving the book universality that it might otherwise lack. The repetition will appeal to the intended audience, as will the chance to identify each animal Joey meets. The subtle sophistication of the story gives it broad appeal: while it could be used one-on-one with toddlers, older preschoolers would enjoy it in storytimes, and the minimalistic text would be effective with beginning readers as well.—Amy Lilien-Harper, The Ferguson Library, Stamford, CT END

"Stein's minimal, to-the-point text and breezy mixed-media illustrations convey Joey's energy and swing of feelings." -- Horn Book

Cute Story Book

Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2022

I teach 2 yr olds at a Parents Day Out Program. We have this book in class and the children love it! This is one of their favorite stories! We read it everyday! The children love to help me read it! They have pretty much memorized this story, yet they ask to read "Pouch" everyday! We have the hardback edition in class, which is larger than the cardboard copy and has nice paper pages, but this cardboard edition is nice, as well. I bought this as Christmas gift for my class, so they can read their favorite story from school at home, too. The illustrations are nice and I like the thickness of the pages. All around good and cute book for little ones!

My son's VERY favorite book. He is 17 months old, and can barely say Pouch. We read this book at least 5 times a day. In fact, this is our second copy. Our first was a paper copy and he ripped it to shreds. Mommy just got smart and bought a hard page book. :-) He loves to follow along and scream POUCH when he knows little Joey is afraid. It's so cute. He also likes to mimic the 3 hops, 4 hops, 5 hops reading. Lots of interaction in this little book. It's the only book he recognizes by sight, and carries around to us when he wants to read. We LOVE this one, it's a must have for your little!

After three kids, this is by far my favorite children's board book I have ever read.

The story of childhood and parenting condensed into 12 pages. The story is so simple, but it touches deeply on the fundamental truth of parenting. All three of my children adore this book, even my 10 year old still loves it. I give this book to every expectant mother I know.

Coming from a first time uncle with no experience in children's books, this is a must have. I am moving to Australia so I wanted to get my niece a book that showed something from Australia. This book did more then that by offering an amazing story to go a long with it.

The book was received in great condition other than a sticker in the back of it. It was an address sticker for someone living in Texas and it has caused some damage to the backside of the cover. I will not be returning it but I was just bringing this to your attention for future reference.

Sweet Story and Excellent Illustrations

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2016

Verified Purchase

I gave this with the Melbourne Kangaroo 8" (via Amazon) to my granddaughter for her 2nd birthday. We'd been talking and reading about kangaroos for a few months -- also jumping like kangaroos. This book has a timeless message about baby growing up and venturing outside of momma's purview and succeeding in connecting happily with others.
