Joey The Kangaroo

Description

Joey is a little kangaroo who lives in Australia. But Joey has problems doing the one thing all kangaroos are famous for - jumping! His friends tease him and his parents can't believe it - only Ribit the frog gives him some advice and lends him some magic jumping boots. Soon Joey can jump taller and higher than all the others - but will they let him enter the competition with boots on?
