Once, Kangaroo couldn't jump. Find out how that changed in this charmingly illustrated adaptation of one of Rudyard Kipling's much-loved Just So Stories. Part of the Usborne Reading Programme, this book is specially written for children who are learning to read and includes entertaining puzzles to solve at the end.

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

The gods were my favourite characters The kangaroo asked if he could be different to the gods and the gods said no, the kangaroo asked again and the gods said 'fine then'

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.
