Excellent baby/preschool book
This is one of my personal favourites in the Miffy series, where Miffy (a little girl bunny) goes to the zoo with her father. They take the train and go to see the parrots, a zebra, a kangaroo, an elephant, a monkey, two giraffes, and a turtle. It's great fun for kids with the bright-coloured simple pictures. My one-year old daughter loves to point at the pictures and "say" the names of the animals. The text has four lines of rhyme on each page that describe what is seen on the page. After reading it only a few times, my daughter can now spot any monkey a mile away.

Miffy at the Zoo
I have the original version of Miffy at the Zoo, published in 1965, and printed in Holland. I have recently bought the updated version,owing to wear and tear on the first copy. I am quite disappointed that the text hasbeen changed, as my 15 month old grand-daughter was becoming so familiarwith the original. I can't quite understand why parrots can't say"Pretty Polly"now and have to say "Pretty bird"instead! And why does Miffy have to have a 'father' and not a Daddy? Therepeated use of the word 'funny' on the zebra page implies a certain lackof imagination on the part of the translator. Am I just being over-fussy towant to read the original text I wonder? I don't dislike the rhyming text,but the original was simpler and very direct for young children.

I loved it, now my son does too!
My son loves the pictures and colours in these books. I remember loving the colours too when I was a child reading them in England. When I read them to him, I actually get "warm fuzzies" from the nice memoriesthey bring back. ... Read more

Bearly Concealed Fun
We last encountered Irving and Muktuk, two larcenous polar bears, stealing blueberry muffins ("lots of muffins," Muktuk reminds us) from the frozen North town of Yellowtooth.The bearly concealing costumes did not fool Officer Bunny, and he deported them to the Bayonne, New Jersey zoo. This book opens with the bears on a Bayonne-bound plane, bearing a note from Officer Bunny warning the Zoo Director that they cannot be trusted!The two Pinkwaters depict the zoo as a kind of maximally minimum-security prison. As in a vintage prison film, the longtime resident, polar bear Roy, gives them a few pointers on zoo life.This includes showing the new "convicts" his stashes of muffins, fish cakes, his own private apartment with "a freezer, four air conditioners, and two electric fans,' and teaching them the easiest ways to perform their zoo duties--just swim around, and occasionally wave to people.

My Son's Favorite!
If I'd seen this book in a store, I don't think I'd have felt compelled to buy it.It doesn't look that different from countless other children's books on the shelves... Yet it IS different.It was given to me as a gift, and I'm so glad it was.My son was fascinated by it.He was 8 months old, and it was the first book he ever took an interest in.Months later, it is still his favorite. It makes him smile every time, guaranteed.

A colorful view of the zoo
Jan Pienkowski's "Zoo" uses a simple format to appeal to the youngest children. The book introduces the reader to 14 different animals that you would see at a zoo: crocodile, hippopotamus, toucan, gorilla, and more. Each page combines a one-word caption with a colorful illustration. Inspired to talk and walk
I bought this book for my son when he was 7 months old. He is now one and still chooses it over all of the other books we own. He loves the illustrations! He took his first step to get this book off of a table and he said his first word when we turned to the lion page. He now says "Yion" each time we read it!And he's learned to roar! ... Read more

Engaging and lively drawings illustrate the zany tale of the people of Leipzig
Leopold, The Liar Of Leipzig, Einav Aviram's engaging and lively drawings illustrate the zany tale of the people of Leipzig, who marvel at Leopold's amazing tales about wonders of the world. His far-fetched stories has entertained generations - and everyone believed they were true, until a great scientist and explorer arrives in Leipzig and accuses him of being a liar.
Fabulous Illustrations!
I bought this book for my niece, who is just barely 3.I thought she might be a little young for it, but the illustrations really captivated her.She was taken by the penguins, but I'm partial to the giraffes.I look foward to more work by Einav Aviram.

A delightful, beautiful book!
This is a lovely book filled with with colorful, fanciful pictures!The story is engaging and has a wonderful message about imagination that is appealing to kids and adults.The author and artist have done an excellent job in creating a new book with the feel and charm of a classic. ... Read more

Simply wonderful!!
My daughters (ages 5 & 6) absolutely love this book!We have so much fun reading it together, or by themselves!The story is told in a repeating pattern, and many of which the children have probably memorized by now... but they cannot seem to get enough of this one!Read more
