Luke was excited when his latest two books arrived to review and we had to read both of them at bedtime over the week. However, this one was his least favourite.

It is a story about a wallaby who goes looking for her bounce and finally finds it when escaping from a crocodile. As it is published by London Zoo it has interesting facts about animals at the back which we looked at.

I feel the story would be appreciated by a younger child than Luke as it is quite short and the language simple. The illustrations are clear and simple and even the crocodile is not too scary! I felt that it was pleasant enough but not particularly memorable or special.
