Poetry
This poem is about a kangaroo named Marsupial Sue, who is not happy with who she is. She did not like to hop like a kangaroo because it made her sick so she decided that she would leave her relatives and be something else. She decide she was going to be a koala but it did not work out. She was still not happy with who she was so she decided she would go live with the platypus but she got very sick so she figured out that it would not work out. Still not happy, Marsupial Sue she would be a wallaby and went to live with them. There she realized that she was not so bad as a kangaroo and from there on she was happy.
I would teach this book in my classroom because it would be good for a poetry lesson. It would also be good to teach the children that being who they are is okay and that they should not try to be someone else. I could also use it to have the students sing it as a song. This book would be good for Kindergarten- 2nd grade.
