From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1 A pleasing, small portfolio of familiar zoo animals. The omission of a gorilla or chimpanzee is puzzling, but never mind. Each animal is given splendid, full-color attention on its own black-framed page. Facing is its name in large, white print along with a three-word tag. "Big /white /growls" describes the polar bear, just as most young children would. These tags make nice riddles or beginnings for a child's additional description. On the final page, a chart notes natural geographical location as well as what they eat. For the most part, the photographs are standard zoo fare, but a few are truly different and amusing. The pleasures of naming and describing are discovered and practiced early on in childhood, and Hoban's new photographic book adds to these delights like few others. Anna Biagioni Hart, Sherwood Regional Library, Alexandria, Va.

Simple and great,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Childrens Zoo (Hardcover)
This book in so nice for the 3 to 4 year old range. The pictures catch their eye but at the same time they are learning about language. My 3 year old autistic son enjoys and learns from this book. What more can you ask?

Reviewing A Children's Zoo,
By Caren Doleys (Columbia, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Children's Zoo (Hardcover)
A Children's Zoo is an excellent book for any preschool classroom. Tana Hoban provides fantastic large photographs of individual zoo animals on each double page. Next to each picture she uses large print to list adjectives describing each animal. The large print supports early literacy skills as well as providing cues to focus readers when looking at the animal photographs. This is one of my favorites!

A Good Book For Very Young Children,
By Pam Tee "mom,wife,fur-mom,book-blogger" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Childrens Zoo (Hardcover)
I came to this page (Amazon reviews for the book A Children's Zoo) after puzzling over why this book was on my entering kindergartners summer reading list. It is a nicely photographed book but not one I would think appropriate for anyone over 3 years of age. Certainly my boy and girl, newly 3 and 5 respectively, were uninteresting in it.Perhaps this is because they are already familiar with these animals (kodiak bear, penguin, hippo, zebra, polar bear, sea lion, lion, parrot, elephant, panda, and giraffe) and found nothing new about the presentation. [Hippo in water. Sea Lion in water. Polar Bears on fake mountain.] In any case, I would not suggest you buy this for anyone 4 and above: 2.5 Stars. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
