The Zoo Is Closed Today!: Until Further Notice

32 pp. | Peter Pauper | June, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4413-1526-7 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Anne Kennedy. Stopped at the closed zoo gates, John and Sue hear from zookeeper Pete about the various aches and pains afflicting the animals. When the children wake the next day with illnesses of their own, the recovered critters pay a visit. Steady if uninspired rhymes describe the elephant's cold, the hippo's tummy ache, etc. while sunny, full-spread illustrations anthropomorphize the ailing animals.
Reviewer: Rebecca Reed Whidden
