Zoo-maniac

My 17 month old daughter asks to read this book over and over. She points at the colored spots as they change.

Put Me in the Zoo

My grandchildren(ages 3 & 4) were fascinated with this library book. They wanted it read over and over, in fact, they loved it so much that I decided to buy it. It is an excellent reader for beginners and they get great fun out of attempting to read the words.

Lot of family history with this book, so I was predisposed to love it

My father loved this book, and so he read it often to me. Now I read it often to my nieces. I love it all the more for the connection to my personal history.

This is a fun story (the illustrations, showing the children's reactions, are hysterical) about a critter who wants to live in the zoo, and to prove that he should he shows off all the tricks he and his spots can do. Eventually he goes to the circus, everybody is happy.

I will note that the zoo depicted is a very archaic, every animal in a small, unfriendly cage type of zoo; I do not think it is sensible that he'd really like to "live this way". But when it comes up as an issue, we'll talk about it. The focus of the book is really about the cool (rhyming) tricks that can be done with spots.

I will also note that the board book version of this is seriously abridged and is, unfortunately, not very well constructed. Please just get the full edition.

Wonderful for beginning readers

My daughter is learning how to read, but needs more confidence. You should have heard her gleefully reading this book on her own. She really enjoyed it.

A classic

My daughter-in-law asked me to help find this book - she told me it was my son's favorite and he wanted to have it for my grandson. I had no idea! I shouldn't have been surprised, though - I remember it fondly from my childhood too.

Illus. in color. Spot, a polka-dot leopard who can change colors and even juggle his own spots, tries to convince two children that he is special enough to be exhibited in the zoo.
