review 1: K picked this book up from his public library.This is a perfect book to read to the younger kids on up. K is 8 and loved the book because it had animals from the zoo. It is easy to read for those that are learning to read or are at the stage 1 to 2 level reading books. The pictures are colorful and bright and go great with the story. Rhyming on every page, which makes it fun to read along with counting on many of each animal is at the zoo!
review 2: As a YA author I don't often shout about GREAT picture books, but there's a new one out that my favorite two-year-old keeps asking me to read over and over.Two at the Zoo by Danna Smith (Author), Valeria Petrone (Illustrator) is a rhyming counting book about a grandfather taking his grandson to the zoo. The verse is... more so natural and fun to read it makes writing a picture book look easy (IMO picture books are actually the hardest genre to write!).Today I went to a book signing by Danna Smith for Two at the Zoo and a local zoo had brought in a tarantula. Danna held the tarantula, its furry legs crawling across her gloved hand. Kids and adults snapped pictures and leaned close to look. Danna read her book and signed many copies. She was raised in a home where having snakes, skunks and deer around was normal. Her father still has hundreds of snakes and trains falcons. Writing about wild animals comes naturally to her--as does beautiful rhyming words. Two at the Zoo would make a great Father's Day Gift as well as a wonderful read aloud to any child who loved animals and counting. I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did! less
