Amazon comBeing a kangaroo certainly looks like a lot of fun, what with all the hopping and the hay eating But who knew all that jumping around could cause such problems? Marsupial Sue, that's who, a smartly dressed young 'roo who can't abide by all the bouncing: "It rattled her brain It gave her migraine A backache, sideache, tummyache too " So озещм John Lithgow recounts in 4/4 time--along with the jaunty, waltzy music and score on the CD that's included--in his secondforay into children's books (The Remarkable Farkle McBride being the first) Probably best known as Dick Solomon on TV's 3rd Rock from the Sun, Lithgow brings his comic knack to this Down Under story about the importance of being yourself Marsupial Sue might be intrigued by the idea of being a climbing koala or prawn-slurping platypus, but with Lithgow's cooing reassurance as the narrator, she eventually comes around: "Be happy with who you are / Don't ever stray too far from you / Get rid of that frown / And waltz up and down / beneath a marsupial star / If you're a kangaroo through and through, / Just do what kangaroos do " Lithgow will likely never surpass the spiritual contributions he made to our world as Doctor Emilio Lizardo and John Whorfin, but don't hold that against him Like Farkle, Marsupial Sue is surely worth a read (and a listen), especially with illustrator Jack E Davis's cool cast of sunglass- and snappy-hat-wearing Aussie animals (Ages 4 to 8) --Paul HughesBook Description If you're a Kangaroo through and through, Just do what Kangaroos do Young Sue really doesn't like being a kangaroo, so she goes off to find something better First she tries climbing the trees like a koala, but that doesn't work Then she wades into the sea like a platypus, but that's no good either Finally, Sue joins up with some bouncy, jouncy wallabies and discovers that being a kangaroo isn't so bad, after all Using a jaunty waltz rhythm, actor, comedian, and best-selling author John Lithgow reassures children that they can be happy with who they are For listening or singing along, a CD of a John Lithgow performance of Marsupial Sue andan instrumental version is included with this book, as is the score of the song.  Редактор:2004 г 40 стр ISBN 0689874103.
