Zoos are horrible places, I wouldn't visit one but I did absolutely love this book as a child. I loved the Topsy and Tim series with their bright illustrations and happy family, everyday life themes.
In this book Topsy and Tim after caring for their own animal friends at home go for a day out with their mum and dad and enjoy meeting some animals. This was an enormously enjoyable read as a child and I hope that if this author/illustrator duo were doing this today Topsy and Tim would have visited an animal rescue centre instead.

This Book Keep's kids happy and educates them About the Animals at the same time...

Pretty dull. Mainly just a wordy list of animals with no particular plot.

My three year old son and I love the Topsy and Tim books.
Easy to read and my son enjoys these stories. Can't wait for him to find words himself. Recommended for young children.
