Great in many ways!

This book for absolute-beginning readers is fine in a variety of ways. The text--limited to a bank of about 30+ words--is very simple and repetitive helping young readers learn words, the drawings are brightly colored and detailed as Freddie and family go to a zoo and see many animals, and I thought it was neat how a reader can compare/contrast the types of pictures and animals (and even family members) both by Freddie's pictures at the end of the story as well as illustrator Susan Miller's. A great book that will grab a young reader's attention for more than one reading.
