JUMPIN' JOEY is a whimsical tale of a young kangaroo trying to "be like somebody else," as the other kangaroos would put it; striving to learn how to jump even though his feet were definitely not suited for the job. Loosely following the "how the leopard got his spots" stories, Jumpin' Joey is chock full of zany characters and the hilarious antics of Joey's faithful sidekick, Leroy Lizard. JUMPIN' JOEY is an unpredictable tale that is sure to be fun for readers young and old.
