Going to the Zoo

Join one boy and his family on a trip to the zoo. But this is no normal zoo: it’s full of extraordinary animals, including elephants who drink tea, penguins who ski, and even chimpanzees who eat peas! Illustrated by Luciana Fernandez, this imaginative poem is written by eleven-year-old Collins Big Cat 2011 Writing Competition winner Reece Cox.
