Illustrated by
Travis Foster.
Stepping on one another's noses, toes, necks, and tails, the zoo animals are demanding to be let out of their cramped quarters. The text, song lyrics from the 1960s musical Do Re Mi, doesn't quite work as well when spoken. Frantic cartoon-style illustrations are packed with graphics that emphasize the congestion. Occasional gatefolds add to the frenzy.
