'This kangaroo refused everyday, when all of his friends would ask him to play.

He wanted to jump and was eager to run, but life was to easy being carried by Mum.'

The second book in this series, by Brisbane based author Lee Phethean, is yet another story of everyday events that his own children have experienced as they grow up from babies to toddlers.
