Kangaroo Hops

A wild animal takes a risk and discovers its tremendous talent! In this delightful series, we follow the story of an apprehensive kid animal wondering about its limits in this great big world. As the kid tests its strength, tries something new, or even tumbles, it realizes that it is strong, capable, and powerful. Not unlike preschoolers, these animals teach us to be brave and to try new things. In doing so, we can discover some of our most incredible abilities and attributes! In this edition, we meet a kangaroo learning to hop!
