Class Two at the Zoo

Class Two at the Zoo, written by Julia Jarman is a funny rhyming book about a second grade class at the zoo. The students are so happy to be at the zoo and they see so many fun things, from a giraffe having a laugh, to hippos hopping in the dirt and monkeys eating chocolate dessert. The students and teacher are having so much fun until some of the kids start to go missing because nobody notices the sly anaconda eating them one by one. The anaconda goes unnoticed as eat eats nearly the whole class, until one girl saw the anaconda eat the teacher and another student. What is she going to do?
The book has great pictures. When the anaconda eats the children you can see them sprawled out inside of the large snake trying to get out. The other animals were having so much fun until they saw the anaconda too. The pictures alone would keep a student, or child's interest. The story is great since it rhymes to adds interest to the story too. I would recommend this book to read during school, especially right before a field trip to the zoo!

  1. This sounds like a fun book! I think it would also be a great book to read before having the students write an imaginative story.

  2. I might not read this book right before a field trip to the zoo! I'd have some paranoid students :) It sounds like a great story that would be a lot of fun to share with students. I am interested to see the illustrations, too.
