<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This is a Borzoi Book published by Alfred A. Knopf"--Copyright page.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>From the bestselling creators of <i>Wild About Books</i> comes a rhyming, counting, and teamwork-focused picture book about the beginnings of a new zoo! </b></b> <p/>When Takoda the tiger cub happens upon a tumbledown mall, the lone cub imagines a zoo. All Takoda needs is a capable crew to lend a paw or two--or three, four, or more. <p/>Two rhinos, three lemurs, four oryx, and eventually ten crocodiles turn up to help. Soon the animals are finding places to pitch in: bears are carving out burrows, elephants are stomping the way for a playground, and crocodiles are crafting a waterslide. <p/>It seems everyone's got something to do--everyone, that is, except for ten eager bugs. Will they be underestimated for their size or will this be a new kind of zoo where <i>everyone</i> counts? <p/>Judy Sierra's rhymes and Marc Brown's colorful, folk-inspired art lend themselves to themes of counting and teamwork in this new picture book all about how a tiger cub and a whole lot of friends to count on add up to one wonderful zoo. <p/><b>A Bank Street Best Book of the Year, Outstanding Merit</b> <p/>The creators of <i>Wild About Books</i> and <i>Wild About You!</i> again demonstrate finely tuned creative teamwork in this nimble tale about cooperation, inclusivity, and the rewards of a job diligently done.--<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>Sierra's rollicking rhymes are fun to read aloud and listen to, and Brown's gouache and pencil illustrations give children lots of details to pore over. This rhythmic, imaginative romp practically reads itself aloud.--<i>Kirkus</i><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"With its <b>Seuss-like rhymes</b>, opportunities to count up and down from 10, and strong design choices, this book will find many fans." <i>--Booklist </i> <p/>"The rhyming text coupled with detailed illustrations make for<b> a fun storytime read</b>." --<i>School Library Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Judy Sierra </b>is the acclaimed author of many picture books, including the award-winning <i>Wild About Books</i>; <i>ZooZical</i>; <i>Mind Your Manners, B.B.
