I liked it when he jumped over the river. I liked the dog when it was grinning. And I liked the towering mountains!!

I liked the part when the dog chased the kangaroo and the dog fell in the water, it was funny.I didn't like when the sky god was mean in the story. I would recommend this to my friend.

I liked the kangaroo and the story. I didn't like the Gods because they were a bit scary.
