Suzy Lee offers a unique look at a trip to the zoo in this wonderfully creative picture book. She has managed to capture both the colorful, exciting adventure that a zoo offers in a child's eyes and the chaperoning stresses of parenthood. The illustrations nicely demonstrate the contrast between the bland, mundane zoo the parents see and the bright, colorful zoo experienced by the child, which creatively captures the way a child's imagination can soar. This is certainly an exciting trip to the zoo for everyone.
