Reviews

[Elizabeth S · Rating 3 out of 5]

For those of us who have read and loved What Do You Say, Dear? by Sesyle Joslin, this book appears as a pale imitation.

However, when you set Joslin's classic aside, this is a fun book teaching how to care for animals at the zoo. As you read, you get the chance to guess what is needed to care for the monkeys, etc. before the page is turned and you see the answer.
