eBook 정보

 Shabalaba Zoo Diaries is a children’s poetry book filled with whimsical rhymes and delightful illustrations. Each poem relates the antics of some creature that may or may not be found in a zoo and can stand alone or come together in this wonderful menagerie. The creatures can be found jumping, running, climbing, dancing, singing, painting and getting into a variety mischief and having lots of fun. The poems are easy to read for those who can and fun to listen to for those who aren’t old enough to read for themselves. The illustrations complement the words beautifully and bring the verses to life.
