Going to the Zoo

Love this book and the kids b my class love it as well. After reading it a few times they are now singing along to the story

This is a cute book , I gave it to my sons family at Christmas , to let them know I had purchased season passes to the zoo for them . They were so excited .

I am a preschool music teacher and I love to use books in my classes with my 2-5 year olds. This is a fun book that we sing together- the children join in on each chorus and I sing the verses. We discuss the various animals, what they are doing in the book, and other things they might do. The children love it!

The familiar preschool song comes to life in this book! The entire song is beautifully illustrated with his page filled with bright, energetic colors that match the excited tone of the trip. This singalong story follows a family's trip to the zoo where they see different animals. This book can be sung by you or you can YouTube the song and turn the pages to it. Either way, it's an engaging story and will capture the attention of children and adults alike.

I lov this book and use it every year at story hours for kids ages 2 and up and we have a great time singing and acting out the book. I even sing it with the one year olds--we just act out the animals as we sing the song!My favorite memories of this book/song are of my then 2 year old daughter singing "Zoo,zoo, zoo!" in the back of the car whenever she wanted us to sing this together!If you don't know the tune for this, you can find it on the Peter,Paul and Mary album "Peter Paul and Mommy". In fact, if you look it up here at Amazon you can hear a clip of the song. Sadly, the Tom Paxton recording is out of print.And don't worry about your voice quality--kids just love it when you sing with them!

Pictures are beautifully portrayed

I like hat there is a song to the words of the book.

What a great book and be sure to listen to the song to know the tune - so catchy and fun to read. Instant favorite!

This has always been a personal favorite of mine. I brought to my child care Centre and the children love singing along to this book! One of our faves for sure.

I already knew part of this song Daddy's taking us to the zoo tomorrow but there are lots of extra verses. I bought it for my nursery and the children are captivated by it. Even the 2 year olds are enchanted and even though the book is quite long it holds their attention because it is a song.The pictures are lovely too, altogether a book well worth having and should last as it is a hard cover with a jacket.

I read/sing this almost everyday in my classroom. My toddlers love it!

Interesting story book for kids
