Unlike many zoo-focused books for young readers, Search the Zoo, Find the Animals depicts animals in the context of their natural habitats and behaviors, helping readers build authentic animal knowledge while exploring page after page of colorful, fun imagery. Even the most expert young animal lover may meet a new species in here, and a plethora of fun facts will help make this an interesting read for the parents, teachers, and caregivers too. --Gabrielle Hebert, director of education, Phoenix Zoo What a wonderful way for children to learn about zoo animals and conservation while practicing their focus and attention skills! Authors Bethanie and Josh have embedded their years of experience working with zoo animals and conservation education into easy-to-read, engaging scenes of zoo animals. Overflowing with facts about endangered species and wildlife from around the world, this is a book children can return to again and again, as they fall in love with the amazing animals of our world. --Chris Corpus, conservation programs manager, Dallas Zoo As a mom of two young children, I am often on the lookout for books that pique their interest, while adding in a little learning. Search the Zoo, Find the Animals was the perfect combination. My children loved finding all the hidden animals, while I loved introducing them to new animals from around the world. --Alejandra Albarran Moses, PhD, education
