Usborne Phonics Readers: Kangaroo at the Zoo by Lesley Sims (author) and David Semple (illustrator)

This humorous rhyming story with colourful illustrations and phonic repetition has been specially written for children who are learning to read. “What a hullabaloo, someone new at the zoo! ‘How do you do? I’m a kangaroo!’” The simple text helps children develop key language skills, and there are parents’ notes on phonics and reading together, too.
