Old Favorites

1999-12-06
As our three year old continues to accumulate stuffed animals (One of which she refers to as 'Baby Brother'), 'I Love You Blue Kangaroo' has enriched her sentimentality for the old and familiar. This is a touching book, deserving of a place on any child's bookshelf. A top-notch effort.

My four year old daughter is wearing out the copy we loaned from our local library! Luckily this is a book that even Mom enjoys and doesn't mind rereading. The illustrations are charming, the characters endearing and the message is right on: you have to cherish and make room for those special relationships, even between a little girl and her blue, stuffed kangaroo.

Loveable and Fun Characters

The Blue Kangaroo series of books are a huge favorite with my two year old. The stories are emotionally relatable for her age. Toddlers can also sympathize with Lily and her favorite stuffed friend, Blue Kangaroo. The pictures give parents additional details to expand on the story. I highly recommend all of the Blue Kangaroo books, starting with this one.

Blue Kangaroo gets taken for granted

Lily loves Blue Kangaroo, and tells him so every night as she goes to bed. But over a period of time Lily receives more stuffed animals and Blue Kangaroo feels more and more neglected, until one night he gets bumped out of bed and decides to go sleep with Lily's little brother. Lily's response lets Blue Kangaroo know he is first in her heart.

Bright, colorful and humorous watercolor illustrations add to the enjoyment.

Adorable!! 2002-05-30
This book is great. Adorable story, lovely illustrations. My daughter loves it and she's 4. Especially the part about the little brother who takes the favorite toy (her brother is 2) She comes up with a great solution to get it back. Just a good all-around preschool story book in every way.

Hands down favorite of my almost three year old for months 2001-07-08
This charming and very true to life story of a displaced favorite toy has been my daughter's favorite for months now, and happily it's very fun to read out loud over and over again. My 7 year old son also enjoys reading it to his little sister. The illustrations are fetching and the tale is a sweet one. I'm about to click away to find more books by Emma Chichester Clark.

Lily, Don't You Love Me Anymore? 2000-09-25
Good for 3-7 yrs. Very similar story to "Nugget & Darling" by Barbara M. Joosse, it's a 'Dont you love me anymore?' story. The story is interesting for children, it moves along quickly, and the illustrations are very good.

Blue Kangaroo is a stuffed animal who belongs to a little girl, Lily. However, Blue Kangaroo begins to feel very worried, and unloved, as friends and relatives begin to shower Lily with other stuffed animals. Soon, Lily's bedtime animals begin crowding Blue Kangaroo out of the bed. What will Blue Kangaroo do? It's a happy ending, I don't want to spoil it for you.
