Lucy has some very strange neighbors with horns, humps, tails, and trunks. That's because Lucy lives next door to the zoo! Every night, she climbs down the long neck of Georgina the Giraffe and listens to one of them tell her a story. Joey is a little kangaroo who lives in Australia. But Joey has problems doing the one thing all kangaroos are famous for—jumping! Will he learn to jump like a real kangaroo before the Junior Jump Competition? His friends tease him and his parents can't believe it, but then 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?

Mary BethMay 5, 2008 The 64 Zoo Lane books are fabulous and well worth building into your child's library. An Vrombaut's story series are engaging for both the child and adults. The child learns proper social behavior surrounded by animal characters from around the world. My five year old loves for me to read these stories to her over and over again.
