Kirkus UK Review This is the third in the series of Blue Kangaroo books by the experienced childrens author and illustrator Emma Chichester Clark. In 1988, Chichester Clark won the Mother Goose Award as the most exciting newcomer to childrens book illustration and this simple but appealing book shows that she has lived up to her promise. The heroine of It Was You, Blue Kangaroo! is Lily, a little girl who always blames her acts of naughtiness, such as flooding the kitchen or stealing toys from her baby brother, on her favourite toy, Blue Kangaroo. Eventually, Lilys mother becomes so cross that she banishes Blue Kangaroo to the downstairs bookcase, and Lily has to go to sleep without him. Luckily, Blue Kangaroo is able to save the day and appease Lilys mum. Chichester Clark is by training an illustrator rather than a writer, and the great charm of this book is in its illustrations. You could easily leave the words out and the pictures would tell the story by themselves. Each picture, although clear and simple, has enough detail to engage the curiosity of small children. Theres plenty of gentle comedy too - the look of alarm on the cats face, when Lily dresses it in baby clothes, is marvellous. The real hero of the story is Blue Kangaroo himself, who demonstrates the value of loyalty in adversity. Any child who enjoyed the first two Blue Kangaroo books will surely love this one and look forward to many more. (Kirkus UK) Long Description Lily and Blue Kangaroo are inseparable.
