"If I were allowed to invent my own zoo, / the first thing I'd have is..." So starts this funny rhymed adventure in which readers see sharks reading books, oxen as short-order cooks, a big animal pillow fight, groundhogs on a picket line, and more. The loose-lined, detail-packed, peppy illustrations add even more personality to the book's zany cast of characters.
