Even in the best of times, it is hard for three friends to play together happily all the time as someone always feels left out. Such is the case when Kangaroo, Dolphin and Turtle play. There are times when Kangaroo and Dolphin play but leave out their friend, Turtle. Then there are times when Turtle and Kangaroo play, forgetting about their friend Dolphin. Other times, Dolphin and Turtle find games that they enjoy, however, it excludes Kangaroo. This causes each character to feel sad, mad and frustrated with their friendships. However, despite being left out of some activities, Kangaroo, Dolphin and Turtle still like playing together and learn that being friends doesn't mean always having to play together. They also learn to value what they bring into their triangle of friendship and to appreciate the times when they are by themselves! Told with sensitivity and humor, accompanied by beautiful illustrations, Kangaroo, Turtle and Dolphin is a great story for anyone who ever had to deal with the ups and downs of having two best friends.
