From School Library Journal:

Kindergarten-Grade 1-Children will enjoy practicing their reading skills with these titles that feature a zoo full of animal friends. The simple, repetitive texts are appropriate for those learning to decode sentences. The plots are straightforward: Is the Spaghetti Ready? deals with mealtime, New at the Zoo with forming friendships, and Troubles with Bubbles with bathing away the day's dirt and dust. The vocabulary consists of one- and two-syllable sight words that readers will recognize. The bold, clear type is printed against crisp white backgrounds. The brightly hued cartoon illustrations humorously reflect the text and provide visual clues to the content. Useful additions to beginning-reader collections.
