5.0 out of 5 stars From the Same Artist as Curious George, September 22, 2002

By	Terrie (Little Chute, WI USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Katy No-Pocket (Sandpiper) (Paperback)

This is a really delightful story book illustrated by H.A. Rey, who also created the beloved Curious George books. In the same fun-loving and colorful style, the story of Katy, a mama kanagroo with no pocket for her baby, comes to life. Katy searches high and low and interviews many other kinds of animals to try to find a way to carry her baby, Freddy. In the end she gets some great advice and finds a solution that is pure genius. The story is really cute but H.A. Rey's utterly charming illustrations make this into a treat that should NOT be missed. The details of the various animals are so jolly, the faces so expressive. The pictures just exude happiness. I believe that once you share this with a little one it will become a family favorite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute Little Story, April 4, 2000

By	Linda O'Brien "momob" (LaPorte IN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Katy No-Pocket Book & Cassette (Carry-Along Book & Cassette Favorites) (Paperback)

Katy No-Pocket is a cute story about a mother kangaroo who does not have any pockets to carry her baby, so she searches the town and country to find a solution to her problem. My four-year-old loves the story and asks me to read it over and over. It is just a charming tale without any violent or scary situations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Right Up There, May 31, 2000

By	Jeanie Garrity (Washington State) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Katy No-Pocket (Sandpiper) (Paperback)

This book is right up there with my other favorite children's book, THE COUNTRY BUNNY WITH THE GOLDEN SHOES. It features a wonderful mother up against serious odds, a patient child and a very kind person who helps them. My son loved this book and I bought it recently to read to my 4-l/2 year old neighbor. It amazes me that no one I know (except my son! ) remembers it!
