K-3Silly Millies series.
Illustrated by
Steve Pica.
When confronted by feeding time at the zoo, a zookeeper may ask for help. A variety of situations is presented ("the giraffes do not have much water") with the question "what do you do?" Light in tone and fun for the beginning reader, this story combines humor with interesting facts about care for zoo animals. The pen-and-wash illustrations are appealingly cartoonlike, with a good use of white space.
