Illustrated by
Melissa Sweet.
"Hippo will bounce. / Elephant, too. / Oh, the whole zoo will bounce / when they see bouncing you!" A toddler joyfully romps through a visit to the zoo. Animated animals--a rotund hippo, frisky giraffes, a springy elephant--bounce around as energetically as the young girl. The lively illustrations in a warm, sunny palette are stronger than the amusing, if unexceptional, rhyming text.
