Twas the day before Zoo Day, when all 'round the park,
The creatures felt restless and wished it were dark.
Zookeepers all scurried to get things prepared.
Flamingos stood antsy on one leg and stared.

The zookeepers are getting ready for a special day-at-the-zoo for a large group of kids. The rhyme and rhythm are fun, but the story drags a bit...

Edge - page illustrations - cute.
Four pages of questions and activities at the end. Wonderfully imaginative faces.
