Synopsis
No one can jump as high as the very boastful kangaroo. But the littlest kangaroo challenges him to a jumping contest anyway. Even the very boastful kangaroo has to laugh when the very little and very clever kangaroo outsmarts him and wins the competition. Bernard Most’s resourceful kangaroo hilariously illustrates one of life’s basic lessons--that any problem can be overcome if only you put your mind to it.

From Booklist
A very boastful kangaroo claims he can jump higher than the other kangaroos, but a tiny kangaroo brings the braggart down to size in this Green Light Reader, which introduces adverbs and comparisons. Using word repetition, everyday vocabulary, and selective visual representation, the story illustrates such concepts as "higher," "very," "much," and "too." The bonus is a joke kids will enjoy reading and sharing. Each page features two short sentences, incorporates dialogue, and has a simple color illustration that portrays the described elements without confusing distraction. A good introduction to adverbs, with a little perspective on competitive natures and the way a shared laugh can ease a divisive situation. Shelle Rosenfeld
