I enjoyed this book and it was definitely a favorite of mine when I was little.Ĭould a book be more compelling to my childhood self? Little me found every detail of this well-paced, ever-escalating plot entrancing. It is a very good book to read before bedtime to encourage your kids happy dreams. I would recommend this book to all little kids and encourage parents to read it to their younger son or daughter. The author’s words go hand in hand with the illustrations in the book. On the ending page, they arrive at the circus and the animal is performing on stage. The setting of this children’s book is at the zoo when the animal gets kicked out and the road to the circus when he is showing the children what he can do with his spots. The animal, which looks like a mixture between a bear and a dog, was yellow with red sports. The brother wore blue shorts and a blue shirt and also had short blonde hair. She wore a yellow dress, had a yellow bow in her hair, and had short blonde hair. The characters in the book are two young kids, a boy and a girl, and an animal. The animal was very happy to have finally found a home and he ended up liking the circus a lot better. The young boy told the animal that he did not belong in the zoo, but belonged in a circus. Then he took off his spots again and began to juggle them. After he counted to three, all his spots were back on his body. He put some on the walls, the children, on a cat, and on the zoo.

Then, the animal changed his spots to all sorts of colors and started to put them on to different things. The little boy and girl loved watching him change his spots and they kept asking him to do more. He changed the color of his spots from red to blue to orange to green and to violet. He met the young brother and sister and he started to do tricks for them. At first, he was very upset and did not understand why they would not keep him. He wrote the best selling children's book, Put Me in the Zoo.“Put Me in the Zoo” by Robert Lopshire is a children’s book written about an animal that wants to be in a zoo.The animal really wanted to be kept in a zoo, but when he asked the zookeepers, they said no and kicked him out.
