Acontemporary of Leo Leonni, his books have been hailed as "among the most original, inventive and beautiful ever created." Zoo is among his most graphically stunning works. Meet the kangaroo, who is all legs but doesn't know it, the zebra in his striped pajamas, and the humpy camel, who has a seat for you. Young readers will enjoy Munari's bright, bold illustrations; older readers will appreciate hiswry humor. From children to collectors, Bruno Munari's Zoo is certain to enchant a whole new generation.

"Graphic designer Bruno Munari is one of the most inventive picture book creators I know. I have been inspired, entertained, and in awe of his work since I was a graphic design student in Germany more than 50 years ago. And Zoo has been one of my favorites. I am delighted that it is available once again for a new generation of picture book readers of all ages." Eric Carle

5.0 out of 5 stars High brow text for a low brow audience, November 15, 2007
This review is from: Bruno Munari's Zoo (Hardcover)
There are a lot of animal books out there. There are a lot of zoo books out there. There are very few of said books that do it with this kind of ingenuity. The first time you read the lines "Flamingos know they are strange and beautiful and play at symmetry" to your 3 year old, you know you have stumbled on to a rare gem.

Will they know what symmetry is? Probably not, but you do -- and that is what is so great about this simple book. Everyone gets to enjoy the book, on whatever level they can appreciate it for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent zoo book for young children., December 5, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bruno Munari's Zoo (Hardcover)
After taking our twin 2 1/2 year old grandson's to the zoo, we unsuccessfully look at the zoo gift shop for a book that would highlight animals that we had seen on that visit. Hard to imagine, but there were non. Many of the books dealt with one animal not a cross range. Therefore, returning home, I searched out this book by Bruno Munari. It is excellent and my daughter and the twins are very happy with my choice.

The best part is the line about the zebra's striped pajamas. Really great illustrations.
