Praise for Jack at the Zoo

★ "Barnett works wonders with a limited vocabulary, packing the stories with humor, tension--and admonishments of Jack. Pizzoli's scruffy-edged, emotive cartoons are just as funny, and he carries the comedy into drawing lessons and closing endpapers." -Publishers Weekly, starred review

★ "Jack is a rule-proof bundle of bunny-eared id who does as he pleases, and therein lies his considerable charm." -BCCB, starred review

"This series title will be a surefire hit with readers who love Mo Willems's Elephant & Piggie books." -School Library Journal

"The interplay between Barnett's verbal and Pizzoli's visual humor results in rollicking surprises at almost every page turn." --Kirkus Reviews
