I Love You, Blue Kangaroo!
(Andersen Press Ltd)
32pp, 978-0862648312, RRP £9.99, Hardcover
Under 5s Pre-School/Nursery/Infant
Every night Lily says 'I love you, Blue Kangaroo!' to her stuffed toy, and Blue Kangaroo feels wanted. But new toys start to arrive one by one, and Lily loves them too. Blue Kangaroo is sad and cannot sleep; one night he is even pushed out of bed. His solution to the problem helps Lily discover whom she really loves best. The illustrations are as warm and cuddly as the story; they glow with bright colour and yet are simple and accessible to the very young. This could become a classic.
