Submitted by Tammy, driver of the WoW van!Two at the Zoo by Danna Smith, illustrated by Valeria Petrone, is a delightful rhyming counting book about a young boy who decides to take his grandpa to the zoo for the day. They start the day out by getting matching safari hats to block the sun. Children will love following along as they count their way through the zoo, encountering a variety of animals from lions to zebras, penguins to chameleons! This book is set up so each two page spread displays a loving relationship between the young boy and his grandpa in bright colors with friendly animals, while the short, rhymed text encourages little ones to join in as they too venture through the zoo. The story comes to an end with a tired boy taking his “tired” grandpa home, as they ride a choo-choo to the end of the zoo saying goodbye to all the animals. See this book listed in our catalog
