If I Ran the Zoo

Dr. Seuss

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Welcome to the crazy world of Gerald McGrew, who dreams of transforming his local zoo into a madcap menagerie of weird and wonderful beasts! In this story, Gerald McGrew imagines the myriad of animals he'd have in his very own zoo, and the adventures he'll have to go on in order to gather them all. Featuring everything from a lion with ten feet to a Fizza-ma-Wizza-ma-Dill, this is a classic Seussian crowd-pleaser. In fact, one of Gerald's creatures has even become a part of the language: the Nerd! By combining the funniest stories, craziest creatures, and zaniest pictures with his unique blend of rhyme, rhythm, and repetition, Dr Seuss helps children of all ages and abilities learn to read in this Caldecott Honor-winning picture book.

Publication Year: 2003
