This book was a unique way to combine poetry and a picture book. The book talked about what animals at the zoo do at night, which would engage younger readers especially who love animals. They can relate to going to sleep at night, since that is something that both humans and animals do, and it will be fun for them to read about how an animal sleeps. Another feature of this book is that it has an ABAB rhyme scheme. There are only four lines to a page, which is just the right amount to introduce poetry to young readers. Even if they do not notice the rhyme scheme, they will get a feel for lyric or poetic writing as opposed to regular storybook writing. It may be difficult for them to understand most of the words, so this would be a great opportunity for the teacher to scaffold to students through modeled reading. Additionally, the large pictures of each animal will help students to visualize what is going on throughout the poem. The main purpose of this book is to introduce poetry through the lens of zoo animals. ( )
