About this ebook

At the zoo, animals in action aren't always what they seem!

When you're at the zoo, do you see scary crocodiles? Chimpanzees being silly? Look again! A young narrator makes the rounds of a zoo, pointing out that animals have special reasons for doing what they do. The crocodile is protecting her babies, and the chimpanzees are learning by trying new things. Animals protect, play, bathe, and communicate in different ways. Even the zookeeper isn't just a zookeeper. . .she's the narrator's mom!

A picture book that challenges kids to think beyond their first impressions--in a warm and eye-opening read perfect for storytime.

This fun book has intricately colorful and detailed illustrations to make the point at each segment. The words and ideas, as well as the basic tenet are well suited to ESL and also for reading with children. I love it and plan to get one for our local library. *A picture book that challenges kids to think beyond their first impressions* (from the blurb), but I think that ALL ages need this reminder to look past the obvious. I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Charlesbridge via NetGalley. Thank you!
