Two at the Zoo
PreSchool-K—A little boy and his grandfather visit the zoo and count a variety of animals from one to 10. The couplets are simple but descriptive: "Baby gators snap at me./Sneaking, peeking…/We count 3." The digital gouache illustrations have vibrant colors, clean lines, and palpable texture. The characters have big, wide eyes that convey wonder, surprise, and joy, and many of the animals have playful expressions that welcome the humans. An engaging read-aloud for storytime and one-on-one sharing.—Linda M. Kenton, Pickleweed Public Library, San Rafael, CACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
