Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Counting Kangaroos
Marcia Leonard · 1990
62/100
👎 Skip It
The warm grandma-visit framing gives this counting book a little more heart than a bare numbers drill, and the kangaroo characters are an appealing hook for small children. As a mass-market series entry with no critical endorsements and nothing that distinguishes it visually or narratively, it is a fine library pick but not one to seek out.
