The View at the Zoo

Submitted by Ms. Tammy!
The View at the Zoo by Kathleen Long Bostrom, illustrated by Guy Francis. As opening time approaches, the zookeeper makes his rounds, seeing that the animals are ready for the day. He orders the monkeys from the trees, lion to comb his hair, giraffes to stand straight, elephant to wipe his nose, and flamingos on their toes. Once the animals are in place, he opens the gate for a day of fun. As you turn the pages you’ll discover many funny things taking place at the zoo. But who is talking about whom? If you look closely you may discover a clever monkey with a borrowed hat, and a bald zookeeper on each page. Sun is setting in the sky. Everybody, say goodbye! In the end you’ll find that the humans were putting on a show for the animals. On the last page the zookeeper finally gets his hat back from a now sleepy monkey. See this book listed in our catalog
