Pssst!

Submitted by Ms. Tess!
What would you do if you were just walking through the zoo, minding your own business, and the animals started talking to you? That’s the premise of Pssst! by Adam Rex. A little girl is wandering past the gorilla habitat when she hears “Pssst!” It’s the gorilla! And he needs a favor. Could she get him a new tire? His swing is broken. Get two. Just in case. And he’s not the only animal in need. The javelina needs trashcans, the bats want flashlights, the penguins would like bright colored paint, the sloths yen for bicycle helmets, and the turkeys desire corn (but not to eat. to turn into clean-burning fuel). Luckily, there’s a store across the street that happens to sell all of these things, and she’s provided money by the baboon and tortoise (the peacock fishes the coins out of the fountains every night). But could these animals have ulterior motives? What else could they do with tires, lights, paint, helmets, and fuel… Find out when you read Pssst! See this book listed in our catalog
