The Giant Wheel

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Alexandra Junge. When zoo animals sneak off to the Ferris wheel next door, each has a distinctly unique view from the top. A crocodile sees his homeland of Africa, while a polar bear glimpses the North Pole. This tale about longing for home inadvertently raises an ethical question about capturing wild animals for zoos. Amusing illustrations filled with blues and yellows accompany the story.
