It's midwinter, and all the animals in the zoo have the doldrums. They are too miserable to hoot, howl, or prowl. But when a very large hippo collapses in dismay, a very small hippo hops out of the way. the animals discover they all like hopping and dancing and singing, and decide to put on a ZooZical.

"Teens have Glee, tweens have High School Musical, and with this snappy follow-up to Wild About Books younger siblings can delight in the joy of putting on a show."

--Publishers Weekly


"Brown's bright, energetic animals hop, jump, prance, and dance across generous full-color spreads. Sierra's language-rich couplets with their easy rhythms will have young readers tapping their toes. This joyous sing-along, read-along romp is guaranteed to chase away the doldrums any time of year."

--School Library Journal

"A book of sheer exuberance—vocal and visual—which surely will be reflected during read-alouds."

--Kirkus Reviews
