Kerr, Judith

One Night in the Zoo

(2) PS "One magical, moonlit night in the zoo," a sequence of astonishing events occurs, beginning with an elephant who "flew." Each end rhyme plays off the word zoo; Kerr manages to make it all seem unforced and as light as that airborne elephant. The animals gather on the final spread, emphasizing the book's counting-book element. Humor-filled, uncluttered illustrations are best for one-on-one sharing.
