PSMy First Experience Book series.
Illustrated by
Lizzy Rockwell.
A young brown-skinned boy narrates the story of his day at the zoo with his mom, dad, and little sister. Each spread focuses on a single animal exhibit and the children's reactions to it. The day wraps up with lunch and a souvenir balloon. Tidy watercolors and straightforward text provide preschoolers with a realistic, no-big-surprises preview of a first zoo visit.
