It is time to go to the zoo, and families of all shapes and sizes enter the grounds to observe their favorite creatures engaging with one another. From elephants and bats to ostriches and crocodiles, there is no shortage of activity to witness. However, while typical zoo-goers observe one type of behavior, one very special visitor explains what is happening beneath the surface that links animals and humans together. This charming, rhyming picture book is well-suited to preschool-aged readers with a love of animals and the zoo. Built around rhyming couplets, the meter has a sing-song rhythm that makes it a joy to read aloud while encouraging young readers to anticipate the words that might be used next. Each featured animal receives two full spreads within the book; in the first, the narrator describes what the reader may see initially. In the second, the narrator describes what they see and how certain behaviors help animals to thrive. Illustrations dominate each page, and their watercolor hues paint a pleasantly realistic view of zoo creatures and their human visitors. These visuals will draw the eye of young readers even if they are not able to read the text independently. A plethora of detail is found in each image, from the colors and shading to the objects included, and readers will enjoy investigating them all with every reading of this book. Animals are not so different from humans, and this book helps to connect young readers to some of the similarities found within the animal kingdom.
