Did you know that some kangaroos live in high, rocky places, and spend most of their time in trees? However, most kangaroos live in the wide, open plains of Australia. They have powerful legs that help them to hop quickly and sleep in holes they dig in the ground. Baby kangaroos, called joeys, are born and grow up inside their mother’s pouch. Bounce along with a mob of kangaroos in this book.
