Memorized

I've got this book/song memorized now after having read it millions of times. My children and preschool students LOVE this book. I do too. Great song and fun illustrations. Must have for your home and school library.

Read it again, Mommy, please?

Our two year old cried when we had to return this to a library. Such passion is normally limited to books about big machines... What a find! A great song with detailed, happy illustrations and plenty of opportunities for sound effects to keep our little guy fascinated. "Again, again! Read it again, Mommy!"

You'll be singing it all day!

I work at a daycare and we have 15 kids between 18 months and 3 years. This is by far their favorite book! The song is extremely catchy and the pictures that go along with it are fun and simple enough the even the littles ones can recognize the animals. Since they know all the words they don't mind missing some of the song to roar at the pictures of the bear and lion, or scritch, scritch, scratch like the monkeys! Highly recommended.

GOING TO THE ZOO

This is a wonderful book! Full of bright colors,silly pictures, and catchy rhythms. This is my 2 year old's favorite book. We have to read it at least 3 times a day. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to read to their children. See you at the "Zoo, zoo, zoo".
