King of the Zoo
What's King of the Zoo About
They say the lion is king of the jungle, but who’s the king of the zoo? Meet Carlos the Chameleon, the true king of the zoo…or so he thought! When his friends point out that he’s not the zoo’s only king, Carlos must defend his kingdom! The kangaroo makes Carlos hopping mad. The monkey has Carlos scratching his head in disbelief. The elephant, too? Who knew? Will Carlos regain his rightful place on the throne or is he just being a royal pain? From the hilarious Erica S. Perl and the NEW YORK TIMES Bestselling Illustrator, Jackie Urbanovic, KING OF THE ZOO is a read-aloud riot that will have everyone cheering for the little Chameleon on his king-sized quest.

The Creatives Behind the Book
Erica S. Perl is an established picture book author (Chicken Butt!) making her debut as a young adult novelist with Vintage Veronica. The story behind Vintage Veronica began at The Garment District, the Boston area’s legendary vintage clothing store (where, P.S., Erica will be reading and signing Vintage Veronica on March 27, 2010 at 1 pm!). Erica started taking notes and drawing inspiration from the unique characters and one-of-a-kind clothing articles she discovered there. Her research grew into a short story about a girl named Veronica, which then evolved to become a book.
Jackie Urbanovic is the creator of many popular picture books, including the New York Times bestsellers Duck at the Door and Duck Soup, which she also wrote, and No Sleep for the Sheep by Karen Beaumont. She lives in Silver Spring, Maryland, and shares her studio with two playful dogs and one lovable cat, all rescue animals. www.jackieurbanovic.com
