CLIP Review: My Heart is Like a Zoo

Author & Illustrator:  Michael Hall

Ask a child how he's feeling or how his day is going and you're likely to be told, "Fine" or "Good", which actually tells you nothing. 

Welcome to the zoo! Each of the 20 brightly colored animals in this book are uniquely shaped and designed with hearts.  As your young readers enjoy the challenge of finding all the hearts that have created each of the animals, they will also be delighted by the rhythm of the text.

    "My heart is like a zoo...

frightened as a rabbit, 

jumpy as a frog,

gloomy as a lone coyote 

walking in the fog."

Learning to understand and explore different feelings and emotions is simplified in this "heart" warming book about zoo animals. It makes a sweet valentine's addition to any home library and may help you have more than a "Good" day with your child.
