MY THOUGHTS: This picture book was a perfect Christmas read. And I'm not going to lie, I read it aloud to my pups. It's Fiona's first Christmas and she is strolling through the zoo spreading Christmas cheer and learning about the true meaning of Christmas.
The first thing that sticks out about this book is the artwork. I love how all the zoo animals, especially Fiona, are depicted. There's so much to look at in each and every picture and the coloring and details are wonderful. I love animals of all kinds and knew when I saw this I had to grab it.
Here's an example of the art and then the very real, very cute, Fiona.
This book is a definite must for any animal lover. I am hoping this summer I can make the trek to the Cincinnati Zoo, which isn't that far away, to see Fiona in person.
RATING: 5 PAWS
