Product Description
Review
After an inspiring trip to Paris, a kangaroo starts his own dance troupe. So hooked is Kanga that he returns to the same cafe to watch the gay French poodles perform the dance every night of his holiday. Back home in Australia, he feels a bit mopy until he gets a brilliant idea! He decides to set up his own Cancan Cafe and sponsors a competition to find the best dancers. Pot-bellied pigs, a wombat, a charismatic croc and a platypus wearing a yellow boa all strut their stuff, hilariously depicted by Chapman. Once she overcomes her shyness, the native Australian emu proves to be the most skillful dancer, and Kanga's new troupe consists of a chorus line of leggy emus, elaborately dressed. Crowds of diverse animals come from miles around to enjoy the Australian Cancan Cafe. Jarman's concept is delicious (as are Chapman's pictures), but her verse is a little clunky, scanning clumsily and offering such dubious rhymes as "fuss" and "platypus." Still, this should amuse young listeners and prompt them to shake it. (Picture book. 3-6) (Kirkus Reviews) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Review
Set to an easy rhyming pattern, this jolly story is fast-paced and full of fun ... A fabulous (Oz) safari with delightful pastel illustrations.
(Junior Education )This cheerful picture book just cries out to be read aloud ... Jarman’s jaunty rhyming text is perfect for this sort of wacky tale.
(School Librarian )
