Book Description

Kids are challenged to guess the identity of the animals by looking at different animal houses in this charming lift-the-flap book. They'll find clues when they study the full-color illustrations on every two-page spread, then read the text—or have it read to them by Mom or Dad. The flap is a full-size gatefold page attached to each right-hand page. It shows a picture of the animal's house, but when the gatefold is lifted, the animal appears! The quizzes are rhymes that ask kids to identify a long-legged giraffe, a baby elephant, a spiky-tailed crocodile, a seal, a parrot, and a tiny little mouse. (Ages 2-5) ... Read more

Lions roar, parrots squawk, monkeys chatter, sea lions squeal-whatever kind of noise an animal makes, it's a way of talking to other animals. No wonder a zoo is a noisy place!

Caroline Arnold has written over one hundred children's books. Many of those are about animals, including the Zoo Animals series. She lives with her husband in Los Angeles. Photographer Richard Hewitt has collaborated with author Caroline Arnold on many children's book projects, including Zoo Animals and City of the Gods: Mexico's Ancient City of Teotihuacan. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife. ... Read more

Book Description

Barnaby Gorilla was special. Why? Not because he was born first at Roxbury Zoo, or because he had his picture in the paper. Not because a sign was hung on the wall that told about him or because of all the humans who came to see him. Then why?

The family troop, the "crowd," food-finding, performing little tricks these are all part of growing up for a young gorilla in the zoo. Barnaby loved his world, and being so important was pretty nice too.

You will enjoy the antics of Barnaby in this charming story that teaches we are all special, everyone of us.

This book is a favorite among pre-schoolers I know
Michael Rex, the author/illustrator of The Painting Gorillia, has done a wonderful job of delivering this heart-warming story at a level even the youngest child can enjoy. Children seem to relate to its message and each page has a rich color illustration full of fun detail. My two-year-old wants me to read this book over and over again...to point out the animals he knows, to look at the playground with all its activities, and to see the funny illustrations of the gorilla trying to decide what to do with her money. Even I enjoy looking at the double-page spreads of crowds at the zoo and children at the playground. My son and I find new details each time we read the book! I have recommended The Painting Gorilla to other parents and it has become a favorite at their houses, too. ... Read more
