NCLA Review -Mama Kangaroo loves her little Jo-Jo very much but it’s time for him to grow up and leave the safety of her pocket. But Jo-Jo is very comfortable and despite Mama’s gentle questions to prompt him to explore, the young kangaroo is quite content to remain at home. Mama points out all the amazing things Jo-Jo could see and do if he would only take the chance. After he uses up all his reasons not to explore, she finally gets him to leave her pocket and see for himself. This story illustrates the fear of leaving home as well as the strong bond between mother and child. And while it’s a lovely story about children’s fears, it could also serve as an allegory for the older child who might be reluctant to strike out on his own in the real world.
