Synopsis

Introducing a new kangaroo character–McGillycuddy! A young read–aloud from popular picture book author Pamela Duncan Edwards.

McGillycuddy is new to the barnyard, and the other animals have never seen a kangaroo before. They try to figure out what McGillycuddys do: Make milk? Grow wool? Lay eggs? No, McGillycuddy can't do any of those things, but she can scare away a threatening fox who is looking for dinner!

Pamela Duncan Edwards's lively read–aloud text is just right for preschoolers. Sue Porter's energetic drawings provide an adorable introduction to barnyard animals.

Ages 3–6

From School Library Journal:

PreS–When a kangaroo arrives at the farm, the other animals wonder what she can do. Although she tries, McGillycuddy can not make milk, grow wool, lay eggs, or cock-a-doodle-doo. However, she can hop, jump, bounce, and kick, and that's just how she saves the day when a fox tries to eat a duckling for supper. The expressive faces of the characters in the richly colored illustrations lend warmth and action to a story that is predictable from the beginning. An acceptable supplemental purchase.–Rebecca Sheridan, Easttown Library & Information Center, Berwyn, PA
