Book Reviews of If Anything Ever Goes Wrong at the Zoo

Book Review: Very Disappointing
Summary: 1 Stars

While this book has nice watercolor illustrations and a good premise, it lacks plot and substance. Our heroine tells the zookeepers that if anything ever goes wrong at the zoo they can bring the animals to her house. So, when a flood occurs, the animals appear at the doorstep. Hilarity could ensue, but it doesn't. The animals just go back to the zoo in the morning. The only indication that there might be a problem with a zoo in a house is the image of Mom filling a cleaning bucket on the last page. It's an idea that got started and but never finished. I guess it could be good for a very small child, but I don't think the illustrations would appeal to the very young, lacking bright colors. An older child who can appreciate the art will want more story.

Summary of If Anything Ever Goes Wrong at the Zoo

?If anything ever goes wrong at the zoo, you can send the zebras to my house,? Leslie tells the zebra keeper. She also invites the monkeys and the elephants. None of them ever comes--until one wet, stormy night when the zoo floods and the zebra keeper remembers Leslie?s offer. ?It?s a simple, enticing idea, gracefully and logically developed by this new author and ably abetted by Dyer?s watercolors. . . . A real charmer.?--Kirkus Reviews
