I'm always on the lookout for new authors/illustrators for Harrison's library collection. Children's illustrator Allison Jay is a fantastic find. In this book, Welcome to the Zoo, she guides the reader through a maze of animals. Since there are no words, the stories are unlimited.
Harrison is quick to point out the monkey snooping through the lunch bag. I noticed the giraffe taking a lick of the ice cream cone.
Visitors dressed to the nines in penguin attire, kiddos mimicking the penguin waddle and pearly-whites on the seal, who needs words?!
maybe some adult books should be wordless. that would bring the adventure and eye opening awe of childhood back to us jaded old folks.
