Bookroo's summary

As the zookeeper wakes the animals, the zoo fills with curious visitors. But who is really watching whom? With playful observations and a clever twist, this tale invites children to see the zoo from a whole new perspective. Are the humans the spectacle, or is it the animals? Dive into a world where roles are reversed, and every visit is an adventure.

From the publisher

A new format for this humorous twist on a visit to the zoo, just who has the more interesting view? As morning dawns, the zookeeper makes his rounds, exhorting the animals to wake up, comb their hair, and stand up straight. Soon their human visitors arrive, and the observations begin to flow: My, what silly things they do, all these creatures at the zoo. Walking on all kinds of feet, dancing to an inner beat. Babies riding on their backs, on their bellies, snug in sacks. Hear the silly sounds they speak, as they howl and squawk and shriek! But just who is talking about whom? With a clever twist of text and bright and festive illustrations, this picture book will have children begging for a trip to the zoo. Ages 4-8.
