The animal facts are straightforward nonfiction, Marije Tolman's illustrations are pure fantasy, creating a combination that is sure to engage readers. After reading and watching Jumping penguins and laughing hyenas a visit to the zoo will never be the same. A flamingo can only eat with its head upside down. A penguin is able to jump six feet high. If you wanted to see as sharply as an owl, you would need eyes as big as grapefruits.
