This is a really delightful story book illustrated by H.A. Rey, who also created the beloved Curious George books. In the same fun-loving and colorful style, the story of Katy, a mama kanagroo with no pocket for her baby, comes to life. Katy searches high and low and interviews many other kinds of animals to try to find a way to carry her baby, Freddy. In the end she gets some great advice and finds a solution that is pure genius. The story is really cute but H.A. Rey's utterly charming illustrations make this into a treat that should NOT be missed. The details of the various animals are so jolly, the faces so expressive. The pictures just exude happiness. I believe that once you share this with a little one it will become a family favorite.
This book is right up there with my other favorite children's book, THE COUNTRY BUNNY WITH THE GOLDEN SHOES. It features a wonderful mother up against serious odds, a patient child and a very kind person who helps them. My son loved this book and I bought it recently to read to my 4-l/2 year old neighbor. It amazes me that no one I know (except my son! ) remembers it!
Katy No-Pocket is a cute story about a mother kangaroo who does not have any pockets to carry her baby, so she searches the town and country to find a solution to her problem. My four-year-old loves the story and asks me to read it over and over. It is just a charming tale without any violent or scary situations.
Katy No-Pocket is just that a cute book about a kangaroo with no pocket.This book is great as it opens up the conversation about kangaroos and how they carry their young as compared to other animals. It is also a way to discuss the concept of charity. Because, it is a charitable act that the workman gives Katy the apron off his back. It also opens up a conversation about empathy when the owl helps her out of concern for her sadness. I also like that it gives me an opportunity to discuss with my son the idea that sometimes things that seem bad aka Katy had no pocket to carry her baby; can become the catalyst for good aka Katy gets an apron with many pockets and she is able to carry many other animals when they need help.The illustrations of H. A. Rey, Curious George's creator, are just as memorable, adorable, and lovable as always.
My childhood favorite! And still as wonderful as ever. I give it to the small children of friends every time I have the opportunity. You can even buy a stuffed Katy no pocket to go along with it. This book is precious.
I got this for my Kindle fire to read to my kids. Basically, the original book was scanned and then the text was also placed on the page. It is awkward at best. That being said, my kids still enjoyed the story, but it was the closest I have come to returning a Kindle book.
We had borrowed this book from our local library and my 4 year old loved it. It became a nightly read and when we had to return it to the library she cried. So I started looking around for a copy. The one we found was a used copy from a library so I figured there would be marks in it or ripped pages, but for the couple of dollars I paid it would be ok. When we got the book other than the outer cover being dingy and one tiny rip on a page it was in excellent condition. One Clorox wipe and a tiny piece of tape and she is happy as can be with the book.
I'm buying this book for my child because when I was little it was one of my favorite stories. I hope that he will love this story of a mother kangaroo and her baby as much as I did when I was young.
