Two baby kangaroos,

one wacky inventor,

and a gigantic robot have a day at the zoo

no one will ever forget!

With no Mummy or Daddy to teach them to hop,

the zoo's baby joeys just wobble and flop.

Dr Try builds a robot to help them bounce high,

but when things all go wrong,

will their bouncing dreams fly?


This fantastic and wacky rhyming book is written by Mark Bird from Dream Beast Poems, who writes inspirational and hilarious poetry that will have both adults and children laughing out loud.

Klangaroo- Absolutely brilliant!
I 100% recommend this story!My 4 year old chooses this as one of his bedtime stories and he loves it! He’s had me making The Great Klangaroo out of magnets and even asked if we could make Klangaroo’s remote control.I’ve never read a book like it before and the illustrations make my son laugh. The rhyming of the story makes it fun and enjoyable to read to him.It has a real heartwarming moment in the story too and you really feel for Klangaroo when the arrival doesn’t quite go to plan💙Just brilliant!

    when I saw it I fell in love with the story of Klangeroo, the text has a rhythm and rhyme that is easy to remember. Perfect for children. The pictures are colorful and attractive. My niece loves it. Because of the colorful nature she spends a lot of time looking at it. She is only 18 months

    I enjoyed the story of the Klangeroo, it was fast paced and rhymed perfectly throughout. The pictures have lots for children to spot and it gives the chance for children to discuss differences from the things they may see in real life and the way we describe things. Fun for KS1!

    In this beautifully written book, we meet the eclectic Dr Try whose resilience and wacky ideas are a joy to witness! The clever use of metre propels the reader through this fun and heartwarming story. Fantasy and profound messages of friendship are blended in the most uplifting way. Would make a perfect present - I want to be friends with the Klangaroo! Please write more?!

    This was such a cute and endearing book with a rhyming narrative book for all ages. For me this book had a underlying story about acceptance and family. We follow a Wacky Inventor who makes a robotic mummy for two new baby kangaroos for the local zoo. Even though the Robotic Klangaroo has some flaws it is accepted by the Zoos Kangaroo's and they are now one big family.
