Class two at the zoo by Julia Jarman
Illustrated by Lynne Chapman. Hodder Children's Books,
2007
(5+) What a delight to follow Class Two around the zoo as they see all
kinds of animals! No one notices an anaconda slithering along behind
them or the children who go missing. However, Molly is the heroine of
the day and comes to the rescue.
Children will delight in the Julia
Jarman's wonderful rhyming language and alliteration and are sure
to want to hear the story several times. The illustrations by Lynne Chapman are a joy and
the drawings of each situation and character are unique and original.
Readers will find new and funny things each time they look at the
pictures and revel in the humour of the story.
This picture book is a really worthwhile addition to the library or
classroom collection.
