# Amadou's Zoo - Hardcover

by **Rebecca Walsh** (Author)

Amadou has waited...and waited...and WAITED for his class trip to the zoo. But when they arrive, his teacher would rather talk about rules and facts. So, Amadou eagerly explores the zoo in his own special way--by allowing his imagination to lead. As more and more classmates follow him into his irresistible world of adventure, the sepia-toned zoo fills with vibrant color. Only one question remains--will Amadou's teacher follow, too?

At once an ode to childlike wonder and patient teachers, _Amadou's Zoo_ encourages the child and adult reader alike to find connections with the world around them. Based on her own observations at the M nagerie in Paris, Rebecca Walsh has delicately captured the feel of both an old-fashioned zoo and the modern, diverse class trip taking place within it.
