A clever librarian quickly attracts a crowd when she launches the mobile library by reading aloud from Dr Seuss. ‘In a flash, every beast in the zoo was stampeding / To learn all about this new something called reading.’ There are fat books and thin books, funny books and sad books – something for everyone. Soon, all the animals are not only reading but writing too. An entertaining and inspiring introduction to books. - Book Ahead 0-7
This beautifully illustrated paperback uses some highly imaginative and amusing rhyming text to tell the story of a mobile library which visits the zoo by mistake and soon instills the reading (and writing) bug in all the animals… This story certainly reinforces the message that there are books to suit all tastes and that everyone will find something they love when they step into a library. - Child Care
