Product Description
Review
Rebecca Elliott's 'Zoo Girl' is a picture book with minimal but powerful text and moving, sombre illustrations. Children will easily engage with the emotions of a little girl who longs to be loved. Accidentally left behind on a trip to the zoo, this lonely child finds affection from the animals who care for her, but it is the zoo-keepers who ultimately offer her the love and family that she craves. Children will talk endlessly about this book, and teachers will love it. --Marilyn Brocklehurst, The Bookseller
Product Description
Zoo Girl has no family. In the children's home, she feels lost and alone. On a trip to the zoo, she is accidentally left behind. But she soon receives a warm welcome from the animals - and when the keepers find her snuggled in a cage they know they have found a daughter at last. This striking picture book blends the appeal of animals and adventure with a heart-warming message that celebrates friends and family - making it a reassuring read to share with children feeling left out, and especially poignant for families facing a similar journey through adoption or fostering. The minimal text - just one or two words per page - allows readers room to absorb the striking illustrations and delve into Zoo Girl's story, using their imagination to reveal a new interpretation of the tale each time it is read. The result is a memorable picture book with a lasting impact that works off the page as well as on. Highly Commended in the 2011 Junior magazine Design Awards Picture Book of the Year category.

Beautifully Illustrated,
This review is from: Zoo Girl (Paperback)
This is a beautifully illustrated story about a little girl with no family. The text is very minimal but effective and the images just say it all really. The ending is wonderful. You don't really get stories on this subject, but alot of children out there will be able to relate, if they are ever lucky enough to come across this book. It's quite emotional too (especially the first page), for me anyway. And I just love the artwork. Another superb book by Rebecca Elliott
