Little Roo is a very grumpy young kangaroo whose mother does everything in her power to change it. Try as she might, however, it takes an unexpected spill in the mud to break the hold of a bad day. Expressive illustrations add humor to this engaging tale.

Even the best of friends can have a falling out; especially when one can’t do everything well. Little Roo and his friends — with a bit of guidance from Roo’s mother — learn something important about other’s feelings, teasing, and each other’s strengths. Full-color illustrations further enliven a recognizable situation and its child-like emotions.
