My Day at the Zoo, by Pamela Rosenthal, is a delightful journey a mother and son take on an outing to the zoo. You will be introduced to many members of the animal kingdom who, we learn, are just as interested in us as we are in them. The adventurous boy, Willis, tests his mother's patience while at the same time we learn how deeply she cares about him. The story is told through flowing rhyming text and colorful pictures that highlight the humor and beauty underlying this tender tale of discovery, motherly love, and childish adventure. In the end we come to identify not only with Willis and his mother, but with all of the artfully depicted animals in the zoo.

A hit with our kids,
By
This review is from: My Day at the Zoo (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book for young children. I picked up one of the first signed copies from the author and read it to our kids when we got home that night. Now they DEMAND that I read it to them again and again. The pictures are cute and captivating. The rhymes flow well and even introduced the kids to some new words that they now use in conversation. But it is the story and pictures that seems to really captivate them. Mrs. Rosenthal really has a feel for story telling with both words and illustrations. I look forward to reading more of her work.

I saw this book at my friends house and I picked it up and read it. It was so funny and really cool. The pictues made me laugh and then they made me think. I guess people are animals too. This is the kind of book I would read over and over again!
