Zoo School

CRITICS HAVE SAID

The characters are clearly developed, and all of the children gradually learn about themselves and the world around them. This evenly paced novel could be shared aloud with youngsters needing a step up from Joanna Cole’s “Magic School Bus” series or read independently by those who enjoy zany school stories like Louis Sachar’s Sideways Stories from Wayside School.–School Library Journal
