Animal Strike at the Zoo. It's True!

Animal Strike at the Zoo. It's True! by Karma Wilson (Author), Margaret Spengler (Illustrator) is a very cute picture book about zoo animals being tired of the same old day to day goings on at the zoo. They go on strike to try and get better conditions for themselves. It is really a very good example of a book appearing to be simple, but actually includes several different types of text. The book tells a story so is classified as narrative/fiction genre. It includes different types of practical text such as signs and newspapers within the narrative. Another twist to the story is that it rhymes! It is very neat and can be used for various lessons. Great descriptive language is included. Read and enjoy this book. Your kids will love it!
