Gracie Lou Wants a Zoo

Gracie Lou Wants a Zoo is DELIGHTFUL! The illustrations are adorable, and the narrative is meaningful. Little Gracie Lou has quite the passion for animals. She loves her turtle, George, but begs her parents for more pets. Their small apartment can’t house the monkey, duck, giraffe, or elephant Gracie asks for, and her parents ask her to be patient and to wait on God’s plan. Waiting is something Gracie needs to work on. I love the message this story conveys— Be patient and try to understand. There’s a place and time for God’s plan. The final page allows the reader to fill in blanks, revealing their favorite water animal, animal noise, pet’s name, zoo animal, etc. This makes it a sweet keepsake for later years. ★★★★★ Author : Shelly Roark Publisher : Little Lamb Books Pages : 36 Target Age : 4-8 years First line : Gracie Lou lived in a tiny apartment in the BIG city with Mom, Dad, and a turtle named George.
