What is Moon Zoo about?

When night falls, the moon becomes a magical zoo. Hippos wallow in its craters, rhinos and alligators bob nearby, and a moon tiger scratches at shooting stars. Polar bears drift down from the mountains for starfish and chips, while a very unusual zookeeper keeps watch. Through lively rhymes and surprising images, this playful poem turns the moon into a wild, wonderful place where familiar animals behave in extraordinary ways. Young readers are invited to explore this funny and imaginative lunar adventure.
