This was an interesting book due to the illustrations and being able to essentially open the page to let the animals out of their cages which may be entertaining to young students; however, at the end of the story, you let a snake out of a box which, in turn, eats all of the previous animals you let out of their cages. I am not sure how students would react to this, but this books illustration to say the least. I am not sure I would preview this in my classroom though. A wordless book that doesn't really tell a story. ( )

This book starts off adorable for children who love animals and love touching pages but turns dark very quickly. You are letting animals out of their cages until you finally get to the snake, whom you also let out. Bad news is, the snake eats all of the other animals. I would really love to know what the author was trying to say by this book because I remain confused. ( )
