Gerald McGrew wants to change the zoo and make everything new. If he ran the zoo, he would open the cages, add legs to the lions, and bring in different animals that you don't see every day. He would hunt different animals from different places and bring them to the zoo to attract people. At the end, he says,"those are the few changes he would do."
I would use this book in my classroom to spark my student's imaginations. This book is filled with different ideas that Gerald McGrew would do that do not exist. This book is appropriate for students in grades PK-2. The lower grade levels might not be able to read all the made up words so it would be more appropriate to read it aloud. I would use this during Dr. Seuss day, to teach rhyming words, or again to promote creativity in my classroom.
