The Petting Zoo

　　With each turn of the page in The Petting Zoo, children are introduced to a different animal and are invited to ruffle the flamingo's pretty feathers; to feel the giraffe's velvety horn; to pat the baby penguin's soft, fuzzy belly; to slide a finger along the tiger's rough, sandpapery tongue, and to investigate the look and feel of the other animals in this visually sophisticated, yet -- wonderfully inviting little book.
