When Lulu Went to the Zoo

When Lulu went to the zoo ... she was sad for the giraffes and the penguins too.

The tigers were crying really big tears and the life had gone out of the llamas' ears.

Though Lulu was only two times two, she knew that animals should not be in a zoo.

And though Lulu was the size that Lulu should be, she found that she might fit through the bars of the cages and chat to the animals as she swung through the trees ...

Amaris went to Toronto Zoo in Canada last summer when she was five. She was hiding behind us most of the time, scaring the tiger might roar at her or the lion would give her a kiss. 

Kid's imagination - it's difficult to use rational mind to explain.

Just like Lulu in this book When Lulu Went to the Zoo, she saw the tigers crying, penguins wishing to dance on icebergs, flamingo flying in the sky ... they wanted to be set free!

So, Lulu decided to set the animals free and let them live in her home sweet home. 
But as you can imagine the size of an elephant, the energy level of a monkey and the size of Lulu's fridge to fit the penguins; it turned out it was not quite a good plan ... 

This is a wonderful book with colorful and beautiful illustrations for children as early as three. The plot is simple with large room for imagination. 

My girl doesn't quite like the idea of Lulu releasing the animals and bringing them all home, yet we had a fun time reading it together.
