review 1: I read this out loud with my Sam. He still liked it, but mostly because he's attached to the characters. I thought it was a cute book, but once the show-and-tell stuff started, it was just too long. Really.... it was too much. Both of my kids were bored with it, but insisted that I keep going. So on one hand there's the fact that they were both tired of it, but on the other hand, their willingness to keep going attests to how lovable the characters are and how wrapped up they got in their lives. All in all it was a good series of books (still haven't read the 3rd one because it upset my little guy), I just wish it had ended better.
review 2: In Lois Lowry's Zooman Sam, a little boy decided to be a zookeeper for "Future Job Day" at his school. This is a bo... morey after my own heart. As a child (and even sometimes as an adult,) zookeeper was my absolute dream job! I have been a zoo volunteer for the last 3 years, and I've loved the zoo for as long as I can remember. But back to the book...This book is supposed to be appropriate for 9 to 12 year olds, but I don't know. Not having children of my own it's kind of hard to judge, but I have spent some time in a 2nd grade classroom recently, and I believe this book would make a better read-aloud pick for storytime in a classroom up to the 2nd grade.The book itself was great! I really loved reading about Sam's passion for the zoo, and his respect for the job that Jake the zookeeper does at the zoo. Zooman Sam is funny and touching, and Sam was a wonderful character to read about. less
