Synopsis

Imagine traveling from a lush tropical rain forest, to a deep and mysterious canyon, to the wide-open African plains -- all in one day! In this tour of a modern-day zoo, visitors get to see how animals really live. They'll learn everything from what elephants like to roll around in after their baths to what's being done to preserve wildlife. Written and illustrated by the inimitable Aliki, this successor to the highly popular titles My Visit to the Dinosaurs and My Visit to the Aquarium is one of the best ways ever for a young child to visit the zoo.
