Library Media Connection
“If you are looking for a title about marsupials, this book will inform and entertain…. Media specialists and teachers will want to add this title, and others in the series, to their collections.” —Library Media Connection
School Library Journal
“If marsupial mamas-to-be were literate, they’d appreciate this guide to the birth and care of their joeys…. Each question is answered with a blend of humor and factual information, and children will be able to discern, then empathize with, the mother’s concern about her offspring.” —School Library Journal
Starred ReviewStarred Review Kirkus Reviews
“This companion to What to Expect When You’re Expecting Larvae (2011) is enormously appealing, an offbeat approach to learning about the natural world that targets exactly the stage young readers most want to know about.” —Kirkus Reviews
