The Zoo That Grew – For the Love of Animals and Their Wild Ways

Have you ever wondered what goes on in the minds of animals? Why do monkeys swing, zebras zigzag, and peacocks strut with such flair? The Zoo That Grew is a celebration of the wild, wacky, and wonderful world of animals—told through the curious eyes of a child and the magical rhythm of rhyme.

Whether you're a lifelong animal lover or a parent with a house full of stuffies and animal facts, this book is for anyone who’s ever asked, “Why do animals do that?”

A Story That Grows Wild

At first, the zoo seems ordinary… but with each turn of the page, it grows—with new animals arriving in unexpected ways and doing all the delightful things they’re known for. From the graceful stretching of giraffes to the proud parading of penguins, every creature has a reason for its behavior. Some do it to survive, others to play, but all of them are just being their natural selves.

Learning Through Laughter

Kids love animals, and they love why animals act the way they do even more. That’s the heart of The Zoo That Grew. It doesn’t just show animals being silly, it invites children to ask questions:

• Why are deer so shy?

• Why do sloths move so slowly?

• Why do elephants love water?

And even better—it sparks the imagination: “If I were a kangaroo, would I hop all day too?”

By laughing, wondering, and reading along, young readers start to see animals not just as zoo exhibits or characters in books, but as real, expressive beings with habits, instincts, and feelings.

For the Love of Living Things

At its core, The Zoo That Grew is a love letter to animals—and to the humans who love them. It’s for kids who roar in the living room, whisper to their pets, or spend hours watching ants in the backyard. It’s for adults who remember the first time they saw a lion up close or learned that octopuses have three hearts.

Animals connect us to nature. They remind us of the world’s diversity, its rhythms, and its stories. This book was written to nurture that connection from an early age, while giving families a fun and funny way to explore the animal kingdom together.

Growing Curiosity One Page at a Time

So if you’ve ever chuckled at a chimpanzee or marveled at a meerkat, grab a copy of The Zoo That Grew. It’s more than a rhyming read—it’s an invitation to love animals not just for the funny things they do.

Because in the end, isn’t that what we all want—to be understood for the beautiful, quirky ways we move through the world?

Read it. Roar it. Love it. The Zoo That Grew is available now, perfect for ages 3–7, and anyone wild at heart.
