Bookroo's summary

When librarian Molly McGrew accidentally drives her bookmobile into the zoo, chaos turns to curiosity as animals discover the joy of reading. From giraffes to otters, each creature finds a perfect book match, igniting a wild passion for stories. Will the zoo ever be the same as animals abandon their routines for the magic of books? Dive into this whimsical tale where the love of reading knows no bounds and every page turn is an adventure.

From the publisher

All the animals are very curious when a mobile library arrives but soon they can’t wait to learn about this new something called reading. They read thin books and fat books and Cat in the Hat books. Molly even found waterproof books for the otter, who never goes swimming without Harry Potter! Read along with the book-loving animals and go wild, simply wild, about wonderful books.
