Fun and original story about a kangaroo trying to figure out why she has a shopping bag attached to her belly. A cute group read aloud.

I wasn't much of a man, but the kids at storytime seemed to like it. They loved how silly it was that Polly thought her pouch was a shopping bag. Used for "pockets" storytime.

This picture book is silly and weird, but at least it is entertaining and original. And the illustrations are quite fun.
