Review
...a delightful board book. Very highly recommended for family, preschool, kindergarten, and day-care board book collections -- Midwest Book Review, November 2002

Zoo Animals is a delightful board book that introduces animals commonly seen at the zoo. Youngsters can name the animals while parents and care givers can teach them interesting facts about each creature represented in vivid colors. Very highly recommended for family, preschool, kindergarten, and day-care board book collections. --Midwest Book Review

In addition to the enjoyable pictures, the text imparts an interesting fact or two about the creature. -- Children's Literature, 2002

With illustrations first published in Animal Tricks, The Owl and the Woodpecker and other stories, Zoo Animals by Brian Wildsmith introduces youngsters to 28 animals (one per page) from around the world, including polar bears, meerkats and spider monkeys. Bite-size blurbs accompany each illustration and present basic facts ("Spider Monkeys use their tails like hands to grasp on to tree branches. Spider Monkeys live in Central and South America"). A Spanish-language edition, Los animales del zoologico, is also available. --Publisher's Weekly
