Product Description
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 1-Children will enjoy practicing their reading skills with these titles that feature a zoo full of animal friends. The simple, repetitive texts are appropriate for those learning to decode sentences. The plots are straightforward: Is the Spaghetti Ready? deals with mealtime, New at the Zoo with forming friendships, and Troubles with Bubbles with bathing away the day's dirt and dust. The vocabulary consists of one- and two-syllable sight words that readers will recognize. The bold, clear type is printed against crisp white backgrounds. The brightly hued cartoon illustrations humorously reflect the text and provide visual clues to the content. Useful additions to beginning-reader collections.

A Great Beginning for a Beginning Reader!, May 29 2000
By Laura Wahlers - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New at the Zoo (Hardcover)
My daughter, while barely four, devours books. We've been working on phonics and found the basic level of this beginning reader wonderful. She was reading it back to her Father the same night! The author repeats words throughout the book making words easier to identify for young readers. Truth be told, it was the illustrations with their brilliant colors that first captured my daughters attention. The frog experiences a range of emotions that open doors for conversation about how she might have felt in the same situation. Even as an adult, I enjoyed the book and the feeling of watching your child develop a new skill is priceless.

Good Early Reader Choice, April 5 2012
By Pop Bop - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New at the Zoo (Hardcover)
Sometimes with these early readers I wonder if the publishers have given any thought to who their readers are. Unusual words and complex sentences. Confusing or downright unattractive illustrations. Weird or ambiguous messages. And I don't mean intentionally subversive books like Daniel Pinkwater's "Larry the Polar Bear" books, I mean books that just seem to be a bit clueless.Well, the Edwards books, and especially "New At The Zoo", do not suffer from this weakness. Well written, with a straightforward theme and a simply told story, the book is both fun and interesting for a new reader. Illustrations sustain interest and serve the text well. So, worth considering for your new reader.

daughter approved, Jun 7 2009
By Fatima J. Vazquez Millan "Fatima Vazquez" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: New at the Zoo (Hardcover)
My daughter loves all these books. I dont see why but she loves them, they're easy and repetitious. I thought they were too easy but she can sit there and read them over and over again. As long as she's happy :)
