Join the Zoo Hullabaloo! by Jan Ormerod & Lindsey Gardiner


This is something I wanted to do for a long time. Being a passionate reader myself, I have always encouraged my little one to read more. It reduces their screen time and also helps in building their vocabulary and language skills. Also, it stimulates their imagination and curiosity. However, I have always felt a gap here. While there a million blogs out there recommending adult fiction, there are just not enough for children fiction/non-fiction. So here is my attempt to review children books suitable for different age groups.


Join the Zoo Hullabaloo!

                          


Join the Zoo Hullabaloo! is a vibrant lyrical rhyme that would compel you and your little one to jump to their feet and sing and move along with the lyrics. Kids can be encouraged to recreate animal movements. They can prowl like a lion, trot like a pony or flounce like a peacock. It is a fun way to make use of all the extra energy kids have.



It is a beautifully illustrated book. Lyrics appear to be part of illustrations which makes the book even more engaging. It is a book to read to a two-year-old and read along with a three-year-old.

Illustration - 4/5

Engagement Factor - 4/5

Overall Rating - 4/5

Age Group - 2+
