Hop into an action-packed adventure with George, Brianna and Jackson, kangaroo friends who are masters of taekwondo. When they spot a frightened joey trapped at the top of treacherous Rattling Ridge, the three Taekwonderoos spring into action, using their kicking, jumping and spinning skills to navigate cliffs, boulders and ravines on a daring rescue mission. This thrilling tale of bravery celebrates how courage, quick-thinking, and teamwork can overcome any challenge.Purple Dragonfly Book Award (Honorable Mention), Picture Books 6 & Older
I received a copy of this book through Netgalley. This is my honest review.
This is a story about kangaroos that are martial arts experts, and they find themselves needing to rescue a joey from a very high bluff. The danger seemed somewhat unrealistic to me, and their solutions to the problem seemed absurd. I think I would struggle to read this book more than a couple times because it just didn't seem realistic enough to me.
The illustrations were very solid and colorful. Overall I give The Taekwonderoos: Rescue at Rattling Ridge 3.0286 out of 5 stars. - Katie
