Appréciation du livre
This book is brilliant for talking about all the different animals you might find at a zoo and their characteristics. It offers a good learning opportunity for children to learn about sloths – an animal that that they may not already know much about.

Suggestion d'activité
During the story, we see some of the animals get up to their usual antics; the zebras gallop, the monkeys climb and screech, the parrots fly, the cheetah runs fast and the sloth sleeps !
Have a discussion with the children about what some other animals that they know of do. When you have a few ideas, practice acting them all out.
