Who's New at the Zoo (Classic Children's Story) [Paperback]

Janette Oke (Author), Brenda Mann (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1994 | Series: Classic Children's Story

Barnaby Gorilla was special. Why? Not because he was born first at Roxbury Zoo, or because he had his picture in the paper. Not because a sign was hung on the wall that told about him or because of all the humans who came to see him. Then why?

The family troop, the "crowd," food-finding, performing little tricks these are all part of growing up for a young gorilla in the zoo. Barnaby loved his world, and being so important was pretty nice too.

You will enjoy the antics of Barnaby in this charming story that teaches we are all special, everyone of us.

This review is from: Who's New at the Zoo? (Janette Oke's Animal Friends) (Paperback)

My daughter loves these books by Janette Okes. She borrowed them from a friend and asked me to buy them so she could read them over and over. The books are written from the point of view of the cute little animal on the cover. She is 7 and can't get enough.
