3.0 out of 5 stars Put me in the zoo, Sep 30 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Put Me in the Zoo (Hardcover)
The book is about a animal that tries to get into the zoo and ends up being better off going into the circus because of all the talents with his spots he can do.
The book teaches you all the things you can do when you try your hardest.
The age level is 3 to 7

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVED this rhymer as a child, Jan 3 2003
By DMK (Toronto, Ontario CANADA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Put Me In the Zoo (Board book)
"Put me in the Zoo" is a wonderful kid's book, one of my very favourite when I was a child!! Besides the fact that it teaches children about colours and rhyming, it has a deeper meaning which stays with me to this day.

This polar bear tries to adapt himself to be whatever the kids or zookeeper would want by changing his spots -- colour, size, pattern, etc. He thinks by changing to what others want, he'll get what HE (thinks he) wants, which is to live in the zoo. However, in the end, it's not necessary to change, just being who he is gets him the best outcome for himself, which as it happens, is *not* the Zoo.

BRAVO! Dr. Seuss-like writer Robert Lopshire has done a very difficult thing: using very basic language (with WONDERFUL illustrations) he has created an engaging character and a great story moral -- What you *think* is the best thing for you ain't necessarily so. It's best to capitalize on your best traits and skills, rather than to change them to suit what you believe is your career destination. Food for thought for young and old!
