The colorful geometric animal shapes makes this a wonderful book to read during lapsit and toddler programs. It's a fun book to look at and read. Definitely a thumbs up. ( )

My Heart is Like a Zoo is a sweet book that introduces the reader to many animals and emotions. The little boy in the book describes all the different emotions he may feel using similes and animals. The animal illustrations are very beautifully done and all the animals are made of heart shapes. It may also serve as a counting book by prompting the reader to count the number of hearts that make up each animal. ( )
