Katy No-Pocket by Emmy Payne

Another childhood favorite!

Katy, a kangaroo, is sad because she doesn't have a pocket to carry her little joey in like all of the other mother kangaroos do.

She decides to ask all of the other animal mothers how they carry their babies to see if one might work for her. None seem to be able to help until ash speaks to an owl who tells her to try going to the city to see if she could buy a pocket.

In the city, she encounters a kindly construction worker who is wearing an apron with a BUNCH of POCKETS! This kindly man, upon hearing of Katy's troubles, instantly dumps the tools from his apron and gives it to Katy. 

She is no longer "Katy no pocket". She has more pockets than any other Kangaroo mother in the world!

A sweet story.
