Illustrated by
Valeria Petrone.
A boy tells of his trip to the zoo with Grandpa, "my favorite guy." In a chipper rhyming text, grandfather and grandson count the animals they see, from one black bear to five penguins to ten "hairy wart hogs." The richly colored digital gouache illustrations feature smiling animals and the two zoo visitors having a special day together.
