Katy No-Pocket (Sandpiper)

My favorite book from when I was a kid. So happy to find it for my kids and as baby shower gifts.

Brought back childhood nostalgia.Mailed my niece a copy and ordered another copy for my grand daughters. They all love it.

Katy No-Pocket is just that a cute book about a kangaroo with no pocket.This book is great as it opens up the conversation about kangaroos and how they carry their young as compared to other animals. It is also a way to discuss the concept of charity. Because, it is a charitable act that the workman gives Katy the apron off his back. It also opens up a conversation about empathy when the owl helps her out of concern for her sadness. I also like that it gives me an opportunity to discuss with my son the idea that sometimes things that seem bad aka Katy had no pocket to carry her baby; can become the catalyst for good aka Katy gets an apron with many pockets and she is able to carry many other animals when they need help.The illustrations of H. A. Rey, Curious George's creator, are just as memorable, adorable, and lovable as always.

I read this book as a child and recently went to Australia for the first time. I wanted to share my adventure with my preschool aged grandchildren so I brought it to their class and read it to them. I think they loved it too. I even got to talk a little about Kangaroos too. They all are familiar with Winnie the Pooh and his friend Kanga so this was a new opportunity to share a little more about Kangaroos...and in this case they were the main character!

Love this book and read it to grandchildren. They love the animals and solving the problem of Katy needing to have a pocket.

We had borrowed this book from our local library and my 4 year old loved it. It became a nightly read and when we had to return it to the library she cried. So I started looking around for a copy. The one we found was a used copy from a library so I figured there would be marks in it or ripped pages, but for the couple of dollars I paid it would be ok. When we got the book other than the outer cover being dingy and one tiny rip on a page it was in excellent condition. One Clorox wipe and a tiny piece of tape and she is happy as can be with the book.

I used to read this book to my youngest daughter a long time ago, it is still in print and I was able to buy it for my great grand baby. The pictures are great and the story is a cute one.

Very cute book! I loved it as a kid, so I’m getting for a friend who’s expecting

I purchased this book for my grandson as it is a story my Mom read to us hundreds of time when we were children, and a story that has stuck with me throughout the years. I

very sweet book with great theme of kindness from a man to a kangaroo. lovely art work

Nice story, bad English..... WAKED UP???????

The book is pretty crumpled up and has a torn front cover. I was disappointed with this purchase and may have to order another one.We love the story though and have listened to it on Youtube.
