Summary: The animals at the zoo get excited about reading and writing when the librarian accidentally parks the bookmobile at the zoo. By the end of the book all the animals are “wild about books”!
What I Think: This was the perfect book to kick off the school year for me. I read about how important it is for kids to have access to books and to find books that match a student's reading abilities and their interests. There is nothing more important to me as a teacher than helping students develop a love of reading. I love the energy in this book and how excited the animals get when they have books to read!

And new books and true books and heaps of how-to books.”
