Class Two at the Zoo (Carolrhoda Picture Books) (Hardcover)

by Julia Jarman (Author), Lynne Chapman (Illustrator)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1—This British import is similar to Nan Bodsworth's A Nice Walk in the Jungle (Viking, 1990; o.p.). Neon cartoons accompany rhymes of varying meter as a multiethnic class investigates the chaos at a zoo. Soon, an orange-and-black anaconda with op-art eyes swallows the youngsters at an escalating pace until Molly saves the day by prying its jaws open with a stick, allowing the rest of the group to rescue the other kids, their teacher, and Joe, "a boy they didn't know." Some vocabulary and one or two unclear phrases ("they didn't see the anaconda ponder") may puzzle the younger set, but the humor on each page and the ick factor (children are slimy post-rescue) will surely tickle the fancy of most field-trip participants.—Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun to Read and Hear, July 14, 2008

By	G. Levin "Daisy 18" (Lanoka Harbor, NJ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

While my 5 year old grandson was visiting we borrowed this from the library. We had so much fun reading this that I ordered it to be at his home when he returned. My daughter says he is still laughing every time he reads it. The words are easy to sound out and the storyline is very funny.

I thought this book was a lot of fun. I read it to my two year old and she enjoyed it. The illustrations are really cute and it's got a lot of fun rhyming that keeps young ears interested.

This book and Class Three At Sea are a must read for my 3 year old son. The pictures are very colorful and creative and the story is fun for me to read.

Love it.
