Abstract
-
en_US
This is one of a boxed set of 30 fable books by Usborne, 32 pages in length, 5" x 7¾". This booklet is on the first level, and the text is appropriately simple. It is a "pourquoi" story. The first kangaroo was short, stumpy, and grumpy. He kept importuning the gods "Make me different!" Finally, the gods sent a wild dog after him. When the kangaroo arrived at a river and could not swim, he jumped and made it! Then he kept on jumping, and his legs grew stronger and his tail grew longer. Kangaroos today are still jumpers. The booklet finishes with puzzles and answers.
