Review

Emerging readers and readers love to visit the zoo making this a good addition to the "Step into Reading" series. This early science reader shows and tells children what their favorite zoo animals eat. Humans are shown preparing the food which the animals clearly enjoy consuming.

The large font type is set against a clear white background making it easy for young readers to decode. Feeding Time at the Zoo contains a simple text which provides understandable information. Although the photos are well sized a few appear in the shadows.

Add this to picture book non-fiction collections in libraries and day care centers.

Overall Book Score: good
