I
was bought this book when I went into hospital aged 5 (1970)and I have
loved it ever since. It is a delightful book and has a lovely story
about a dear mother kangaroo searching for a pocket. It is a favourite
and so now I am trying to get a new copy for my son. For a book that is
at least 40 years old it is timeless.

Katy No-Pocket is just that a cute book about a kangaroo with no pocket.
This book is great as it opens up the conversation about kangaroos and how they carry their young as compared to other animals. It is also a way to discuss the concept of charity. Because, it is a charitable act that the workman gives Katy the apron off his back. It also opens up a conversation about empathy when the owl helps her out of concern for her sadness. I also like that it gives me an opportunity to discuss with my son the idea that sometimes things that seem bad aka Katy had no pocket to carry her baby; can become the catalyst for good aka Katy gets an apron with many pockets and she is able to carry many other animals when they need help.
The illustrations of H. A. Rey, Curious George's creator, are just as memorable, adorable, and lovable as always.

No-pocket has been a favorite with my family for close to 25 years. It
is an enchanting story that takes a problem and makes a creative
solution. This book as had such an impact on my children (now adults)
that everything they use must have many pockets!

I
read this book as a child and recently went to Australia for the first
time. I wanted to share my adventure with my preschool aged
grandchildren so I brought it to their class and read it to them. I
think they loved it too. I even got to talk a little about Kangaroos
too. They all are familiar with Winnie the Pooh and his friend Kanga
so this was a new opportunity to share a little more about
Kangaroos...and in this case they were the main character!

We
had borrowed this book from our local library and my 4 year old loved
it. It became a nightly read and when we had to return it to the library
she cried. So I started looking around for a copy. The one we found was
a used copy from a library so I figured there would be marks in it or
ripped pages, but for the couple of dollars I paid it would be ok. When
we got the book other than the outer cover being dingy and one tiny rip
on a page it was in excellent condition. One Clorox wipe and a tiny
piece of tape and she is happy as can be with the book.
