This beautifully illustrated group of Zoo Buddies tell a wonderful story of friendship and working together to create a memorable suprise birthday party for Chimp's. This is the perfect read for younger children.
The illustrations are super cute with great vocabulary for kids. No doubt the book has an immense ability to catch the attention of little readers out there!
We loved reading the book together and even Kabir joined in & enjoyed looking at the bright pictures and pointing at different animals. It's a lovely story to teach children about the importance of teamwork, sharing & caring for a friend.
We read this book A LOT in the lead-up to my wild things 3rd birthday; it got him really excited for his big day!
The zoo animals are arranging a surprise party for the chimps but can they keep it secret?
Annie says that this one would be great for early readers and fun reading time. With a cute story and colorful artwork, readers are sure to enjoy it.
Zoo Buddies The Chimps Surprise Party by Joanne Morgan is the most delightful book for the under-fives.
It is beautifully illustrated by Angelika Scudamore who has put so much detail into each page – including a small caterpillar called Clive who is hiding on every page. I just could not turn over until I had found him! All the zoo buddies are colorful with friendly faces drawing the reader in. Each page is there to be savoured.
The story is simple and easily understood – planning a surprise party means all the animals must work together to ensure success.
I absolutely loved the zoo buddies and am glad to see it is the first in a new series. Every nursery and home with young children should have a copy, not just because it is beautiful but because it could entertain for hours.
I think zoo buddies would easily translate into a cartoon or C.G.I., complete with merchandise. Imagine if your little one could take a cuddly zoo buddy to bed.
I received a free copy from the publishers. A favorable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
