Greenwillow Books says, "'A simple heart shape and bright primary colors become lions, herons, and other zoo animals. Entertaining short sentences about each animal are fun to read, and as kids learn their numbers they can count the hearts which make up each animal, giving this title a little extra longevity.' - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor
The New York Times bestseller My Heart Is Like a Zoo features bright colors, simple sentences, playful animals, and more than 300 hearts for children to count and enjoy. Caldecott Medalist Brian Selznick says, 'Starting with one simple shape, Michael Hall shows us a nearly infinite number of ways to make a menagerie of love.'
The board book edition of the award-winning picture book is perfect for little hands and the very youngest readers, who will learn a heart can be hopeful, silly, happy, rugged, snappy, or lonely. A heart holds every different feeling, and author-artist Michael Hall captures each one with his bold, graphic artwork. An ideal springboard for conversations about emotions, and for introducing concepts, math, and art projects in the classroom and at home. School Library Journal called it an 'outstanding choice for one-on-one sharing.'"
Unique! I absolutely love My Heart is Like a Zoo and hope to see more from this author! Excellent opportunity for grandparents to work with children to count, explore, and talk about animals, feelings, colors, and more! Absolutely give this book to your grandchildren! A true must-have book! Be sure to talk with your grandchildren about how they feel in different situations and remind them God knows what is happening to them, He knows how they feel and He loves them so very, very much!
