There's no real plot in this book and the illustrations are very hectic. Good one-on-one, maybe.

Loved the colorful illustrations but the story itself was just okay.

This funny book about an overcrowded zoo contains words that are lyrics from the Broadway Show, Do Re Mi. The zoo is so crowded that the animals are stepping on one another. The kangaroo’s pouch is stepped on by a bear. The moose’s snout is stepped on by a goose. All of the animals demand to be let out of the zoo. So when the zookeeper arrives at the door, he is stampeded by all of the animals in their rush to escape. The book combines humor and rhythm into one very appealing read.
