5.0 out of 5 stars Joey Runs Away Is Run-Away Success In Our Home --4.5 Stars, April 14, 2005
This review is from: Joey Runs away (Hardcover)
A Scholastic Video, "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom", introduced us to Joey and his mom and we liked the story so much that we decided that we must have the book.

We searched for it on Amazon but have found that it is not currently in print. Bummer. This is such a delightful book that it is ashame that it is not more readily available. With its simple drawings and funny story it has something for most kids. [Mine who are 3 and 5, boy and girl, ask for this to be read all the time.]

The story:
Joey is a young kangaroo who runs away from home in order to avoid cleaning up his room. While he is gone, the other animals find out about mama's empty pouch and they approach her with the idea of renting it out. Of course, Joey's mom refuses. Joey searches but cannot find good lodgings. Joey and mom are reunited when Joey finally realizes that there is no place like home and hearth, and besides his room wasn't *that* messy.
