WHAT IF DAD GETS LOST AT THE ZOO? Ginnette Lamont Clarke and Florence Stevens Illustrated by Isabelle Langevin Montreal, Tundra Books, 1991. 24pp, library binding, ISBN 0-88776-265-4, $12.95, ISBN 0-88776-272-7, S6.95. CIP Kindergarten to Grade 3/Ages 5 to 8 Reviewed by Irene Aubrey Volume 20 Number 1 1992 January While they wait for their father to take them to the zoo, Paul and Carol play a guessing game. They ask what they would do if their father got lost at the zoo, in the jungle, in the forest, in the desert, in a swamp or in the grasslands. The game is but a pretext to take readers on a trip to exotic places where they can learn interesting facts about various animals and their habitats. The text, written for beginning readers, is made up of dialogue whereby the two protagonists exchange information. The publisher suggests that the text could also be dramatized at home or at school. The full-page, full-colour illustrations are a nice enhancement to the text. The portrayal of the animals is particularly effective. The picture showing the tigers hiding in the tall grass, for instance, is compelling. Also available in French under the title Et si papa se perd au zoo? (Tundra Books, 1991).
