The Kangaroo And The Cat: The Kangaroo The Joey And The Cat (Series) Paperback – March 25, 2019

  • As a psychologist myself and father (my daughter is long grown now), I found this book to be an excellent way to comfort a child and let him/her know that there are ways to work out situations without stress. Ms Barrett did a great job with this book, from the engaging story to the delightful art. It will be very helpful for children to see how to engage with other children in social situations and develop friendships.

  • Designed to both inform and entertain "The Kangaroo And The Cat" does both in every aspect. From cover-to-cover I was intensely engaged, anticipating what would come next in this unfolding story about friendships. Truly Enjoyable Reading...Highly Recommend!!! Cannot wait for S.M. Barrett's next book in this children's book series. --Jan
