by Paul Simon (Author)
Internationally acclaimed singer/composer Paul Simon's first children's book brings a colorful and imaginative sense of humor to the world of the modern zoo.
"Someone told me
it's all happening
at the zoo..."
Thus begins Paul Simon's tale of the most outrageous monkeys, zany giraffes, looney elephants, and other lovable creatures a child could hope to meet.
On a crisp autumn day, three kids set out on a trip to visit their favorite animals. The youngest child has a special wish: He wants to give his little stuffed bear to the big white polar bear at the zoo. As the children travel through the zoo in search of the polar bear, they make friends with the wacky zoo animals, who help them on their adventure. Each wonderful illustration is filled with the kind of details kids love to explore again and again. Paul Simon's classic words and Valérie Michaut's humorous illustrations will delight children young and old.
Mr. Simon's royalties from the sale of this book will be donated to The Children's Health Fund, which he established in 1987 to provide medical units to bring pediatric care to the children of homeless families in New York City.
