The Big Breakout - A Zoo Story [Kindle Edition]

Joe DiBuduo (Author)

Book Description

Peabody Pigeon, Sneaky Snake, and Nutsy Squirrel accompany Brutus Lion and other zoo animals who have decided to break out and see what life was like on the city streets.
Alley Cat has told them food was plentiful and easy to get, but the animals needed more food than was available in the garbage cans Alley Cat showed them. They go in search of the circus train which would have an adequate food supply, but it has left the train station.
Prudish Pig is ready to faint from hunger when Nutsy shows her and the other animals how to dance, so people will throw them food in the train station.
Grady the zoo keeper arrives with the police to bring the animals home. They have a parade back to the zoo, singing, "There's No Place Like Home," for a happy ending.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Informative and Endearing July 22, 2012

By Splinter

Format:Kindle Edition

Joe's book about zoo animals with entirely human aspirations and sensitivities is delightful. Kids will learn interesting facts while engaged by stories of humans and animals behaving badly, but endearingly. It's a fun read with a happy ending for all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Joe DiBuduo's fine children's book July 19, 2012

By harmonyunity

Format:Kindle Edition

Joe DiBuduo has a keen sense of tongue-in-cheek humor which makes this children's tale enjoyable for the parents to read, too. From Nutsy squirrel and Peabody pigeon to Leo the lion, each animal develops their own distinct personality and interacts with the other animals in an imaginative way. A solid, good read for young minds.

5.0 out of 5 stars A most interesting and fasinating book for kids of all ages! July 19, 2012

This is just an amazing book for kids of all ages. It's well written with a young child in mind, and you can tell that the author actually knows how children think. I bought two in paperback for my youngest grandchildren, and I know that when their Mom's start reading it to them before bedtime, they won't want her to stop! It's funny, interesting and I think kids will actually learn a lot about different animals from this book. I recommend for any child, boy or girl, for the ages 3 to 10, whether in Kindle form for older kids, or paperback for parents to read to them. It's a great book to any child's collection, and one that can be passed on from generation to generation. So many families today just don't seem to have the time to spend with their kids, and this is definitely one excellent way to change that. It also makes an awesome baby shower gift! Check out the first chapter, and you'll see what I mean.
