SuitabookThe Zoo
Suzy Lee
- Reading
- Read together and pause to consider how the book presents the girl’s experience compared with her parents’. If the search feels worrying, check in and let the child set the pace.
- Themes
- Imagination and differing perspectives: The girl plays with zoo animals that seem to have disappeared from their enclosures, while her parents search for her. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The parents’ search is described as anguished, so their worry may feel tense for some children. The extent of this distress and how the search ends are not clear.
