A young girl's cousin takes her to the zoo for the day. She does not want to go because last time she went she was sad after seeing all the animals locked up in cages. She decides to go and she learns alot about all of the animals. She does not get to finish exploring the zoo so her cousin promised to bring her back another day and she was very happy that she went.

This book is a great read for children in grades kindergarten through even fourth grade! The pictures are so vibrant and colorful! I would love to read this book to my class because it is all about animals and really good information on it.

This book follows two children through the zoo. The children visit many different animals as they tour the zoo; however the book is filled with information about animals there and where they originate from as well as some other facts about them. This is a great educational fun book.

Welcome to the Zoo...

How would you like to travel from a tropical rain forest to the African plains, and down into a deep canyon all in one day? Then get ready for a wild trip to the zoo and up close look at all kinds of animals! See snow leopards lurking on a ledge, zebras and ostriches running across the open plains, and a tiger splashing in a stream. Find out everything--from what elephants roll in after their baths to which bird might laugh at your jokes. Come take a visit to an amazing zoo!

Imagine traveling from a lush tropical rain forest, to a deep and
mysterious canyon, to the wide-open African plains—all in one day! In this tour of a modern-day zoo, visitors get to see how animals really live. They’ll learn everything from what elephants like to roll around in after their baths to what’s being done to preserve wildlife. Written and illustrated by the inimitable Aliki, this successor to the highly popular titles My Visit to the Dinosaurs and My Visit to the Aquarium is one of the best ways ever for a young child to visit the zoo.

‘Aliki’s accessible text and lush illustrations bring the animal world to life.’ —School Library Journal

‘A fine picture book.’ —Kirkus Reviews
