In Kangaroo Joeys, emergent readers learn what baby kangaroos look like and how they live and grow up in and outside of the pouch in the Outback. Carefully crafted text, high-frequency words, repetitive sentence patterns, and strong visual references support emergent readers. Kangaroo Joeys includes tools for caregivers as well as introductory nonfiction features such as labels, a table of contents, words to know, an index, and a Let's Review image and question. Kangaroo Joeys is part of Jump!'s Outback Babies series.
