Review Quotes
A particularly good story hour choice.-- "Booklist"
Move over, Carnival of the Animals; here's another snappy, yet lighter and younger, zoological fantasy to add to Lithgow's repertoire.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
The humorous verse is full of zoo creatures and instruments that children will likely want to learn more about. The digital artwork matches the tone and text perfectly. Children will be giggling at both the song and the illustrations, such as the one of a hippo playing a tuba. This would be a great storytime book.-- "School Library Journal"
