Bookroo's summary

The zoo is in chaos as the animals go on strike, refusing to entertain. Little Sue, eagerly anticipating her visit, arrives to find silent lions and idle bears. Can her presence persuade the animals to end their protest and bring the zoo back to life? Discover the playful pandemonium and unexpected surprises that await in this lively tale of animal antics and a determined young girl.

From the publisher

There’s an animal strike at the zoo! oh no, oh my! What’s a zookeeper to do when the lions and tigers and bears refuse to roar and prowl and growl? And when little Sue, who has been waiting all year for this trip to the zoo, enters the gate, will the animals decide to give their strike a break? Karma Wilson’s fun, playful text paired with Margaret Spengler’s bright and lively pastels create an unforgettable, irresistible zoo of chaos and fun!
