About this listen

Two baby kangaroos,

one wacky inventor,

and a gigantic robot have a day at the zoo

no one will ever forget!

With no Mummy or Daddy to teach them to hop,

the zoo's baby joeys just wobble and flop.

Dr Try builds a robot to help them bounce high,

but when things all go wrong,

will their bouncing dreams fly?

One of my favourite things to do - with or without the kids in tow - is to visit our local zoo, so when I spotted this book, I just had to grab it! Dr Try makes crazy robots and when she saw that the zoo had a problem, she was determined to help fix it. There was just so much I loved about this book! I love a rhyming story. It flows perfectly and is entertaining to read aloud - for both the reader and the listener! The story was also absolutely hilarious throughout. I especially liked the pages that kept us in suspense as to what the next few words would be!! Apart from being funny - the story actually had a great plot - sometimes children's books can be full of morales or lessons and that's great, but it's really nice just to have a really silly, fun story to read. Even better - If you do want a lesson from this, then that would be that it's ok to fail? Good things can still come from things that don't always go to plan. But I loved that this wasn't really forced into the words of the story at all, so could be read with or without being pointed out. The narration was brilliant!
I loved the enthusiasm and multiple crazy voices which were totally captivating!
This was also packed with amazing silly sound effects and music that had me chuckling the whole way through! A great book to play for the kids both at home and in the car - I know I'd be playing it over and over again!

**My only complaint about this book is that nobody wanted to buy the pig! Now come on!! Why not!? I adore pigs - especially because they only go "oink" and are pink!! So - I'll buy the pig!! He needs some love too! 🐷🐽💕**

So Much Fun - Adore this book!!

I had the pleasure of reading and listening to the super fun and wacky children's book.... The Klangaroo.
If you love Animals, Robots and Wacky Inventions then this is the book for you!

I adore children's books and I have to say the audio book just added another dimension to this book. It bought the book to life, with all the cool sound effects and voices. Kids will love it!
Especially if they're following along with the book too!

Now for the book, it was beautifully illustrated, there was so much going on in the pages it was good fun to spot all the inventions and animals.
It made a nice change as well, to see that Dr Try was a female inventor
Throughout the story she showed that you should never give up on your ideas, dreams and creations. That hard work and determination can work.

The characters were great and I loved that it was centered around the zoo and helping two baby Joeys.
Even though the robot invention might not of worked in the beginning, something amazing came from it in the end. It was such a sweet ending.

I loved the rhyming verse and the quirky story made it a fun and entertaining read. A Perfect picture book for children aged 3-7 years.
Dr Try and her marvellous robot inventions were a joy to read about, I can't wait to read more!

A big Thank you to Hygge Tours, for this copy which I reviewed honestly and voluntarily.

5☆ A Quirky, Fun and Entertaining Children's Book.
