Review Quotes

Where's My Joey? by Wendy Winter is a heartfelt children's story of a mother kangaroo that's lost her Joey! She travels all over Australia looking for him. She talks to everyone, Mr. Echidna, the Kookaburra Family, even friends in Canada! As her Joey's dinner grows cold, she worries that she may not find him.

Author Wendy Winter's story is filled with adorable characters that were very emotive throughout the story, which is important to help children learn to recognize emotions. Each page is covered top to bottom illustrations that have a soft color pallet that compliments that overall soothing feel of the story. The pictures are beautiful, detailed, and some of them are ready to frame and hang up on the wall as art. I'm thinking of two scenes specifically; the one where the mother and her joey are sitting and reading together, and the map of Australia. These are amazing art pieces all on their own and the map of Australia helps the reader learn where certain animals live, and the geography.

The plot of the story sends the mother kangaroo on a hunt that serves as a great opportunity to introduce children to different types of interesting animals. It reminds me of the P. D. Eastman book Are You My Mother?.

Where's My Joey? is a cute and entertaining story packed with lovable characters and vibrant scenes. Where's My Joey? is the most heartwarming and educational picture book I have read all year.
