Celebrating the 10th anniversary of this wonderful story about dreams, believing in yourself ... and a dancing kangaroo.


Josephine is a kangaroo - who loves to dance. Her little brother, Joey, tells her that kangaroos don't dance, they hop - but Josephine continues to point her toes and leap through the air. When a ballet troupe comes to town and both the lead ballerina and understudy are injured, Josephine's talents are called upon to help save the day. Can she do it and, more importantly, does it matter that she's a kangaroo?

JOSEPHINE WANTS TO DANCE has been delighting children since it was first published ten years ago, and this pink and sparkly anniversary edition is the perfect way to celebrate!

Ages 4- 9

I love this book - and am about to give it to a 4-year-old who loves dancing.

My girlfriend fell in love with the book as soon as I showed it to her, and demanded I buy 2 more so we can give them to other froends' children.

My daughter is in love with this book. I'm happy with the purchase, however, I don't think this book was brand new. I'm thinking it was one that was on the shelf for a while.

5.0 out of 5 stars About following your dreams no matter what - highly recommended
Reviewed in Australia on October 27, 2018
Another charmer from Jackie French and Bruce Whatley.

Josephine the kangaroo lives to dance. She dances with brolgas and lyre birds, she dances alone, she dances despite the naysayers who say that kangaroos don't dance, they jump. When she finds that the ballet is coming to Shaggy Gully she wants to dance with the ballet and wear a tutu and silk ballet shoes. Her brother, Joey, scoffs and tells her to give up her dream and come back to the bush where she belongs but when the lead dancer and understudy are injured and can't dance Josephine leaps into the breach and the director of the show lets her dance the lead role.

This is a gorgeous story about following your dreams and seeing where they lead you. The illustrations are evocative and there are many touches of humour. I particularly liked the picture of the wombat in a tutu at the end of the book when Josephine has inspired everyone to dance. Just delightful.

Highly recommended.
