Bookroo's summary
In a land of high jumpers, a boastful kangaroo reigns supreme. But when a tiny, clever kangaroo dares to challenge him, the contest takes an unexpected turn. Can wit outshine strength? Discover how a little kangaroo's cleverness might just leap over the odds in this delightful tale of brains versus brawn.
From the publisher
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.
