A Night at the Zoo

"The text is easy enough for emerging readers to tackle on their own, and the sound effects that the bold type invites will have even the youngest child joining in to ring, bop, snap, and yip."—School Library Journal
 
"Telling a story with very limited vocabulary, short sentences and one-, two-, and three syllable words is a challenge, but Caple's amusing, full color ink-and-watercolor illustrations of animals gone wild extend the simple text and deepen the story. Very new readers will find success . . . Young animal lovers will find much to laugh at here."—Kirkus Reviews
 
"Caple's pen-and-ink and acrylic illustrations directly reflect each action described in the simple easy-reader text. . . . the playfully hyperbolic expressions of surprise on human and animal characters' faces enliven the pages."—The Horn Book
