Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Pres-Grade 3 It's picture day at the zoo, and the animals are not ready. Mr. Phibbs, the zookeeper, calls the owner of Beautiful Buehla's Beauty Parlor to come to his rescue. She curls the lion's mane, applies lipstick and eye shadow to the hippo, and dresses the bears in loud disco outfits. When all of the creatures have been gussied up, Buehla gathers them together in front of the photographer. Mr. Phibbs is stunned with the animals' new look and is not sure how to react. Then a liberal amount of loose powder causes Marge the elephant to twitch and sneeze in the direction of the other zoo denizens, restoring them to their natural and refreshingly beautiful states. The subtle message be true to oneself is humorously conveyed through the text and illustrations. The animals look very uncomfortable with their outrageous makeovers while Buehla seems quite content with her flamboyant clothes and makeup. Readers will enjoy seeing the animals' bewildered expressions and the woman's ignorance to their reactions. Wendy Woodfill, Hennepin County Library, Minnetonka, MN

PreS-Gr. 1. An offbeat addition to the subset of picture books that take place in zoos, this begins with an absurd premise: a panicky zookeeper calls in a beautician to prepare his animals for a photographer's visit. Beautiful Buehla ("Just call me Beautiful") styles and sprays the lion's mane, paints the hippo's face with makeup, sticks false eyelashes on the elephant, and so on, until the photographer arrives. After the clearly uneasy animals line up for their picture, one elephantine sneeze sets everything back the way it was. Children will sympathize with the critters and enjoy the madness as confident Buehla sets to work. The ink-and-wash illustrations capture every nuance of the text, from wrongheaded Buehla's brash but good-hearted confidence to the animals' varying degrees of discomfort with their new looks. An amusing picture book that tells a new story in a familiar setting. Carolyn Phelan
