review 1: This picture book is a cute book about animals, working together, and families. In this book an endangered egg is dropped off at the zoo and the kangaroo volunteers to watch and hatch the egg. When the egg hatches a penguin comes out. The whole zoo comes together to help raise this little penguin. This is also a great book to have them see the different animal families and what they look like and what their babies look like. Great for kindergarten level of readers.Sierra, J., & Brown, M. T. (2012). Wild about you!. New York: Alfred A. Knopf.
review 2: I liked the messages of community, diversity, acceptance and adoption in this book. But it wouldn't be a good fit for storytime, but works better for one on one read with kindergartener or first grader. I don't th... moreink the illustrations (as colorful and layered as Marc Brown has made them) were a little jam packed and I had trouble reading the text on a few. (Some did do this blurred background thing that worked out, but not for a sharing in a big group.) I also I think it would have been more interesting just to focus on one character and not both the kangaroo rat and the pandas as central figures in this zoo. It felt underdeveloped to me. less
