Snow Day At The Zoo

Frolic in the snow with the animals at the National Zoo in Washington, DC, in a fun photographic board book created in collaboration with the Smithsonian. The flamingos are a little chilly, and the elephants are being silly. What's more fun than watching animals? Watching animals playing in the snow! Leopards are barely recognizable when they wear a white, snowy hat. Lions lounge regally, regardless of the cold. And pandas go crazy rolling in the soft white powder! With a rhyming text, photos of favorite animals, and doodles and drawings by illustrator Lala Watkins adding to the playful effect, this is a wintry treat for little ones--animal lovers and snow lovers alike.
