My Children's Literature class reviewed this book. We especially liked the illustrations for their tactile appeal. I think toddlers would LOVE to touch these pages! Several of my classmates have small children. I would purchase this book for a young child because of the illustrations, and for a preschooler through 1st grader because of the story. It's just something a little different from the "soft" illustrations you see in so many other books. Kids will like the "sparkle" in these illustrations!

This is a great book to give as a gift. With bright illustrations and a fun rhyming text, it is fun to read over and over again. I also like the new twist on the old message - that a person (or lizard) is a person no matter how small.

My mother got this book for our son when he was not quite one year-old. Now he's almost two and "Zoo" -- as he calls it -- is a pre-bedtime staple in our reading repertoire. He likes it for the sparkly flowers, elephants, alligators and umbrellas and I think it's a really cute story about a little lizard with a can-do attitude. It's just the right length for a 12-24 month attention span and the illustrations are superb. Along with Goodnight Moon and a couple of the Corduroy books, Lucas is a welcome bit of our bedtime ritual.

My mother in law purchased this book as a gift to our infant son. The book's illustrations are so beautiful and eye-catching! He loves to look at the pictures and touch the animals in the pictures. I'm sure he'll appreciate the story's message once he is old enough to understand.
