Ages 4 to 8 years. This humorous, rhythmic guide shows children what they might do if the animals escaped from the local zoo. Questions such as What would be done if a monkey jumps onto your school bus? What happens if a hippo shows up for breakfast? and What if an elephant wants to run the bases at a ball game? are all posed to readers. The colourful, kid-friendly art -- even the alligator fails to look scary -- will further engage the children.
