I need help identifying a children's book I had when I was younger, can someone help me?

Question

The children's book I owned was about a kangaroo who I believe was named Percy if I remember correctly. The story went along the lines of following her on some sort of adventure where she would travel all over. The neat thing about the book was that once you reached the end, you could flip it upside down and the story would continue following her back home. I think the title of the book went something like "Hop, Percy Hop" or "Jump Percy, Jump." I'm almost positive the kangaroo's name was Percy. I seem to have trouble finding this book and there are very few details I remember from it. The cover of the book features the kangaroo on the left side with a yellow background and black lines dotting out a path. The pictures were very nicely coloured on each page, also I think the book had both english and french on it. If someone could please help me identify this book, I would very much appreciate it.

Could this be it?

Crocodile snaps!/Kangaroo jumps! /
Daniel Lehan
1993 1st American ed.
English Book : Fiction : Juvenile audience 1 v.: col. ill. ; 22 x 27 cm.
New York : Orchard Books, ; ISBN: 0531054845 : 9780531054840
In these two books in one (turn it over), a crocodile snaps and gets a meal, and an unwilling kangaroo needs a birthday present before he'll jump.

From Publishers Weekly
When readers finish the first of these sparsely worded, arrestingly illustrated stories, they can flip the book over and find a companion tale. Crocodile Snaps! begins with "HELP! HELP!" on one side of the spread, lettered in a vibrant periwinkle blue also used to color the boots on a pair of legs that dangle into the top of the page. A slim red crocodile on the opposite page hungrily eyes the lanky legs. After a few more pages and a mere handful of evocative words ("chase," "snap," "munch" and "crunch," to be exact), the bulk of the final spread is occupied by a satiated-looking crocodile and a succinct "YUM YUM." In comparison Kangaroo Jumps! , about a young kangaroo who won't even hop until his pals throw him a surprise party, seems positively verbose. A visual link between the stories is provided by Lehan's distinctive artwork, boldly simple images set against vivid backgrounds. Hand-drawn letters and drolly composed pages make this book a feast for the eyes. Ages 2-5.

http://www.loganberrybooks.com/

This is a great site for questions like this...and if they or their patrons/web users can identify the book for you, they may have a copy to sell you!

Otherwise, once you know the title, you can go to www.bookfinder.com and search.

Good luck!

Oh, and it helps if you have an idea of when the book was written, or at least what year you read it!

Have you tried your public library, they really do have everything (especially old things that are out of print and a bookstore wouldn't have). You could be surprised.
