Bookroo's summary

At the zoo, a tree kangaroo longs for a baby. When an unclaimed egg arrives, she eagerly adopts it, despite others' reluctance. To everyone's surprise, a penguin hatches, and the zoo animals unite to care for the new arrival. Can this unusual family thrive? Discover the heartwarming tale of unexpected bonds and community in a vibrant, rhyming adventure.

From the publisher

The tree kangaroo at the zoo would like nothing more than a baby of her own. So, when a new egg arrives via the endangered species van, the ‘roo jumps at the chance to take care of it, even when no one else wants it. Soon, out comes a penguin and all the animals chip in to help because, as the tree kangaroo says, “Penguins eat fishes.” Told in Judy Sierra’s classic rollicking rhyme, and paired with Marc Brown’s breathtaking folk-art style paintings, Wild About You! is another delightful collaboration from this New York Times bestselling duo that fans of Wild About Books and ZooZical will want to adopt for their own book collections.
