James' Journey to the Zoo

This book features lots of facts about a wide variety of zoo animals. It also features open-ended questions to involve the reader. With the questions, the book could actually be enjoyed by preschool - early third grade students. Several teachers who reviewed it feel it would be an excellent addition to classroom libraries. They felt the content and vocabulary will both fit in to the core curriculum programs being taught. Animals included are: harbor seals, polar bears, penguins, seahorses, dog sharks, rays, Kodiak bears, red pandas, Amur tigers, gibbons, East African crowned cranes, zebras, elephants, giraffes, lions, whito rhinos, cheetahs, Flemish giants (a type of rabbit), and goats. This book utilizes photographs of the animals. The photgraphs were all taken at the Indianapolis Zoo.
