Zella, Zack and Zodiac

I read this to a prolific reader, age 7, and she was very interested all the way through. (So was I!) So was a 5-year-old who is sometimes bored with being read to. When we finished, both were satisfied in the way an adult is, when they've enjoyed a book that is a "really good read." Excellent quality in content and illustration.

This book has a great flow, similar to Dr. Seuss stories. The tale is a sweet story of a baby ostrich who is adopted into a herd of zebra. The illustrations and exciting words are great fun!!! Great read aloud! ! ! The rhyme and story line are fast paced. As a substitute teacher, I've read this to several age levels and it always keeps the kids interested. My own children ask to hear it again and again! You have to read it. All of Bill Peet's work in rhyme is fun!

No matter how many times my children ask me to read this book, and they ask alot, I never mind reading it again. It has a powerful "do the right thing and it will be returned to you" message.
