“With rhymes just as whimsical as Dr. Seuss.-- The Booklover”

They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but sometimes a cover speaks volumes, as this one does. From the title, to jacket illustrations, a reader can expect a myriad cast of native and exotic animals heading for a party at a zoo. And you certainly won't be disappointed. -- Julie Harper-Taylor Magpies
