One Night in the Zoo

 By Judith Kerr

We're big fans of Mog at our house, for all of its flaws, so I've started borrowing all the Judith Kerr books I can get ahold of.  (My husband even bought a copy of When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, which is supposed to be amazing.)

One Night in the Zoo is the first one we've borrowed and I'm pretty impressed.

 It's a counting book with zoo animals doing magical things in the night, all rhyming with perfect rhythm.

The pictures are pale, but they're really charming.

It has big full-sized pages and a recap at the end showing all the animals in their groups surrounding their corresponding number.

I'll probably buy a copy of this to keep.
