Class Two at the Zoo

Class Two at the Zoo by Julia Jarman, illustrations by Lynne Chapman 2007

Joining class two at the zoo will make for some crazy adventures. The children are having a pleasant time, but unbeknownst to them, a hungry anaconda is slithering along behind. He slowly and silently gulps down the students until Molly finds a sure proof way to save her whole class. Illustrations by Chapman accurately depict the distraction that a day at the zoo can bring. The slimy post-rescue state of each child, and the humor injected on every page, will make this a reading do over.

Appropriate for ages 4-8

Agent A to Agent Z

Agent A to Agent Z by Andy Rash 2004

Agent A is on a mission to find the evil spy. To discover the one who is out of line in this alphabet rhyme. Each letter of the alphabet has a secret agent to accompany it.

"Every spy who is official

uses words with his initial.

But one spy is out of line.

I need to know his name by nine."

The comedic details by Rash come at a fast pace, and he appoints each agent a ridiculous disguise. With the mystery neatly solved, Agent A saves the day, and enjoys a pleasant evening at the Agent Dance.

Appropriate for ages 4-8
