One Night in the Zoo Hardcover – January 1, 2010

This is what the best children's books are made of: magical imagination, silly and creative instances and pure fun. One Night in the Zoo has all that and more. Kerr's carefully drawn, colorful menagerie perks the imagination and invites readers to pretend along-which we do all too willingly and discover pure fun! Little ones will love counting the animals and turning the page to see what new clever event awaits.

This is a really good counting book. It rhymes well and is really a treat to read. Kids really respond to the text, however the illustrations are very disappointing. They are so pale, you have to strain so see all the great things that are being described! This pretty much eliminates it from story time use, which is a real shame because the text is simply delightful. It's a great little story about what animals at the zoo do at night and literally screams to be read aloud. Even sticking with the same medium, the illustrations could have been a bit more vibrant. Very frustrating.

Très bien

Loads of silly rhymes, good pictures and counting opportunities. Just the right length for my 20 month old, and I enjoy reading it too. He loves pointing out the animals that didn't make it back to their cages in the morning.

Wonderful story and illustrations

really sweet all the way through, sweet story, sweet illustration, lovely adventure with a really sweet twist at the end, my boy went to bed with a very content sweet smile.

Fabulous book. You will never believe what happens in the zoo at night. Already a firm favourite with our 2 year old daughter. Fun and also not too long for bedtime.
