Linguistics, anthropology, and philosophy in the French enlightenment Book

McGillycuddy is a kangaroo who is a new kid on the block.. er.. barnyard.

Upon his arrival, McGillycuddy is obviously different from the other animals and has very different talents. While the sheep provides wool and the cow provides milk, MiGillycuddy can't do any of these things. What he can do, however - proves to be very useful!

This book is beautifully illustrated, and McGillycuddy and the other animals are cuddly and adorable looking. The text is well paced and the pictures provide a great deal of movement (McGillycuddys are good at kicking, jumping, and bouncing, and the illustrations make good use of this!). There is just enough repetition to make the story appealing to young readers, but not abrasive to older ones.

All in all, this is a great tale with a great message - it's ok to be different!
