Reseña del editor:

How can a kangaroo jump nearly nine meters (twenty-seven feet) in one bound? What happens when a kangaroo's teeth wear out from grinding up plants? How can a kangaroo baby survive when it's no bigger than a bumblebee at birth? Outside and Inside Kangaroos answers all these questions and many others. With stunning color photographs of kangaroos -- from developing babies to adults -- and clear, accessible text, Sandra Markle invites children to learn all about these unique and fascinating creatures. Curious young readers will delight in this close look at kangaroos -- from the inside out!
