This is a fun story that reminds me of the innocence of childhood.

It teaches problem solving, teamwork, and creativity via the story of children trying to get escaped animals back to the zoo.

The illustrations are bright and beautiful, the children are multicultural, and the situations are very silly. That’s what makes this a great book. It’s fun, it’s exciting, it’s silly, and probably very relatable to those who tend to live in their imaginations.

This is a great pick for storytimes.
