I really love this story. It is so much fun to read to my baby girl. It reads like a song and since she's into music, she really loves it too. I love the positive message of the book too.

Marsupial Sue not only is a catchy rhyming story but also a great read about some of the animals native to Australia. If you are doing a unit on Australia, this is a great story for K-2. The illustrations are vivid and captivating, the rhyme is not forced and moves the story along nicely. The moral of being yourself is the best way to go is subtle and worked in smoothly with the story. All in all, Marsupial Sue is an excellent read-aloud-one sure to please your younger storytime attendees.

This story captures the euphoria of childhood fun with true friends, and the challenge of finding that social success. Being yourself and finding yourself are the path to naturally finding your own social "kind".

I bought the book because I love the song, and I love John Lithgow's kid's materials. The song is fantastic with a great message. Be yourself and find YOUR group - the people that are like you and will make your life joyful.

I'm not sure why the "I got 2 Dogs" (aka Fanny and Blue) book came with a CD of the song and this book did not?!

Whatever the case may be, buy Farkle and Friends by Lithgow and play it with the book. The song IS THE STORY.
