Zoo Crew is super for toddlers!, July 6 2002
This review is from: Zoo Crew (Board book)
My 15 month-old son loves this book so much that he brings it everywhere! There is something about other babies that just fascinate other babies! Tom Arma does a super job with the pictures! I highly recommend this and all his books!

A Read Again (and Again!) Favorite at Our House, Feb 12 2001
This review is from: Zoo Crew (Board book)
My son (currently 17 months old) has loved this book since he first layed eyes on it four months ago. Each animal in this zoo is represented by a baby dressed up in an animal costume. My son first payed attention to the baby faces in the book and has since started pointing to the costumes and the various aspects of the animals that are pointed out in the book. That sounds a bit dull when I write that, but it's really quite fun to watch and listen to him exclaim over moose antlers and crocodile tails. I'm more than happy to read it over and over again for that reason, as well as the fact that I think the pictures are quite cute, too. If I had to make a complaint it would be that the costumes are sometimes a little more representative than accurate. That is, the peacock is dressed in a brilliant blue all over, which is different from the real bird. But there are other books to teach my son that (as well as real zoos!). This book is helping him to love books even more as he looks at the faces of the other babies and the costumes they are wearing.

A Wonderful Day at the Zoo!, April 16 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Zoo Crew (Board book)
My 9 month old daughter absolutely loves this book. The illustrations are terrific, they are bold and beautiful. Within this book it shows pictures of animals(babies) that you would see at the zoo, and tells of the noises some of them make. It also describes what special features some of them have. A few example are as follows: A gorilla has fur, a Frog says "ribbit" (this photo is our favorite), a Moose has antlers, but Peacocks really dress in style! Tom Arma does a wonderful job putting his books together. I find that my daughter really likes to look at these books. When we sit down to read together she always manages to grab one of his books. When we read this book, I try to make the animal noise that goes along with the photo. She normally gets a good laugh when I do this. We would also highly recommend these books by Tom Arma: "Funny Farm" and "Water Babies". We also would recommend "Tyke Osaurs". These books are great for the young readers in your life. And this parent really enjoys reading them with my daughter. I really look forward to story time when we read any of these books.
