Frizzle's Funky Day at the Zoo by Rhonda Goodall is a kids' picture book. Frizzle lives in Happy Town and Saturday has finally arrived – it's the day Frizzle and Mr. Owl are planning a visit to the zoo. They'd never been before and arranged to meet at the Happy Gardens, but Frizzle was too excited to wait for Mr. Owl. When the Zoo Train arrives, Frizzle is shocked to see the driver and, as he jumps aboard for a trip around the zoo, he is amazed to see all the animals – a pink polar bear dotted with purple hearts, a green and yellow monkey, a purple bear and much, much more! Then he wakes up and realizes it was just a dream. But he and Mr. Owl have just as much fun when they explore the real zoo together.
Frizzle's Funky Day at the Zoo by Rhonda Goodall is a wonderfully illustrated story that's a lot of fun for kids to read. It has some lovely characters, and it's clear Rhonda has an amazing imagination. This isn't just a story, though. It teaches children not to hide their true selves and that they should embrace their individuality and not try to be what others expect them to be. It teaches them to let their imaginations run free, embrace their dreams, and enjoy whatever life throws their way. This story is written in simple language, easy for kids to understand and follow, and the illustrations are bright and eye-catching. This is one story that your kids will want to hear all the time: one that teaches them a few important life lessons along the way.
