Jack at the Zoo
Illustrated by Greg Pizzoli
Jack, Rex, and the Lady visit the zoo. But when Jack gets hungry, he sneaks into a koala's cage to steal some snacks. In a case of mistaken identity, the Lady takes the koala home and leaves Jack stuck in the cage. How will Jack escape, and will the Lady and Rex be happier with the new Jack?
★ "You better watch out for this excellent early reader." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
“Jack is a rule-proof bundle of bunny-eared id who does as he pleases, and therein lies his considerable charm.” —The Bulletin for the Center of Children’s Books
“Barnett makes creative use of a limited and largely decodable vocabulary for comedic effect, which invites beginners to read with expression and confidence. Pizzoli’s illustrations, full of bold outlines and saturated colors, amplify the energy and dynamism in each story line. The text and illustrations work in tandem, sharing the weight of the narrative and blurring the lines between the picture book and easy reader genres while conforming to the physical specifications of the latter. his series promises an energetic romp through the good, the bad, and the bunny.” —The Horn Book Magazine
