“Explore the wacky world of Jason Korsner and Max Low’s zoo in this hilarious, rhyming picture book. A Zoo in my Shoe presents young readers with a series of sensible sentences based on some of their favourite animals. These are then mixed up to make nonsense rhymes, sending children into fits of giggles.”

REVIEWS:
