If Anything Ever Goes Wrong at the Zoo

My kindergartener loves this book and selected it for her grandma to read to her K class on a visit. The class was thoroughly engaged -- I'd say "on the edge of their seats" except they were sitting on the floor :-) Anyway -- they got all excited with what they knew was coming when the main character says of her zookeeper friends, "Oh yes -- they know just what to do if anything ever goes wrong at the zoo!" The entire class fully enjoyed the rest of the book too -- "Look, here comes the alligator!" We have a large kids' library, and this one is a frequent request. (And yes, the illustrations are lovely.)

The book is worth buying just to look at the illustrations alone. Great appeal to anyone who enjoys going to the zoo or for kids planning their first trip. Captures the child's imagination with a little bit of silliness. A great book for young children to have.

This is great book about zoo and i love it. Mary Jean Hendrick is friend of mine.

My two and four year old both love this book. One of my favorites. They can really relate to the story and imagine the animals we have seen at the zoo coming to OUR house. The pictures are beautiful.

I just loved this book and so did my children. The illustrations are beautiful and colorful, the story is imaginative and fanciful (which is lacking in so many other children's books these days).This book is a must have for any young child!!!!
