Put Me In the Zoo (Bright & Early Board Books)

I loved this book as a kid and now getting to read the silly story to my kids is great it is also a great early reader book with simple and repetitive words for young kids learning to read

There is a great ending.

Good

My favorite childhood book! Great gift idea. Delivered brand new.

When invited to a baby shower, bring gifts and relive your childhood at the same time by including books. I remember loving this book as a child! So of course I needed to read it again as soon as it arrived. The colors and drawings are fairly basic - the book was written in the '60's and it shows in the illustrations. Some parts are bright solid colors while others look like colored pencil over textures to achieve a pebbled look. The lead character - never given a name or animal type - is on a mission to find a useful job for his talents, which he feels is at the zoo. When the zoo disagrees and kicks him out, he shows off his skills to his two friends, a boy and a girl who help guide him to a better place. (This isn't a euphemism for him dying, I mean a more fitting career choice.) This book is fun for kids because it shows colors, counting, in, out, sizes, socks (I love the socks, no clue why) and being able to communicate with friends. It shows that it's ok to change what you want to do or be when you grow up, and perhaps what you think you want isn't what's right for you.

Great book for early readers who are ready to start reading longer than a few pages and know ~100-200 sight words. Also a fun story my girls both loved and kept them engaged through to the end ❤️

let me start by saying, I love this book. Even more importantly, my 2 year old daughter loves this book. I still remember when i was a child, I loved the page where our spotted protagnoist morphed his spots into all different colors. I just loved that page! Anyway, the book reads easily for adults, and sounds and looks good for kids. It's a nice story. But I believe there are some color issues - First - What's with the orange spots? They are not orange, they are red scribble on yellow fur. Don't they have orange ink? It does not look orange to me! This confuses my daughter when I say orange - she looks at me like i'm nuts and says no, "red"! and I see her point! - I hope newer editions can fix this. Second - Violet? What 2 year old says violet? Again, I am corrected whenever the violet spots appear - because they are purple. Then I have to explain that violet is another word for purple, which interupts the flow of the story, and I feel like I have to justify myself every time for my 2 year old! As I said - great book, great story, great pics, nice rhythm, - but if we could do a revision - please give us real orange, and the word purple too!

Very interesting book to read to children who pay attention to the story.

I saw just the front cover image of this book in a home-schooling curriculum magazine and felt immediate joy as it instantaneously took me back to this wonderful wonderful book which I had totally forgotten about and whose images are so emotive to me even now 35 odd years later! I ordered it immediately and all the memories came flooding back as I re-saw all the images again. Now my 4 year old adores it just as I did!

I have this book from 50 years ago. I saved it and shared it with my two boys who loved it as much as I did! I bought two for them to share with their kids. Great family keepsake.

I got this "used book" for 288 + 40 shipping. Yeah it's a bit dirty from outside but I don't mind it rather to buy for 800 rs. I loved this book it shows find your right place I will also be using this book for psyche symbols to tell a story. Inner pages were clean also. I love the story it's meaning for the children. Children will understand where not to go where you are not celebrated or invited. Rather than circus I would say don't join a circus do something of yourself people will join you I will give this moral. You cannot find people like you unless you are comfortable with yourself being seen with your unique weird qualities then people will see it.

Está bonito, pero mi hijo no lo pela mucho, por el precio no me quejo pero he encontrado mejores al mismo precio
