Zoo Visit |
Everyone likes going to the zoo, especially children. They can see animals from far away lands close up and learn a little about the animals' lives in the zoo environment.
In this delightful book for preschoolers, each turn of the page has a different animal with colourful pictures and interesting sounds. Children do not need to be able to read, as the story is read to them. They can have fun clicking on the speaker icons to have the story reread and the sounds replayed.
Pages can be turned forwards and backwards by clicking on the turned corner at the bottom of the pages. Children can also use click and drag in the direction of the arrow. This makes the reader feel like they are turning the page of a real book.
To exit, click on the small hand in the upper right corner of the screen.

Children can have fun playing the animal sounds. Ask them to make the same sound. Talk about animal behaviour. What might each animal eat? How does it move? What sort of outer covering does it have; feather, fur or skin? Where in the world does each animal live in the wild.
There are ten animals in this book. This would be a small percentage of animals in an average zoo. Ask children if they can think of other animals that may live at the zoo. Ask children to share their experiences if they have been to a zoo lately.
