Nonfiction
Z is for Zookeeper may seem like a book for younger grades, however it has some very mature elements to it. Z is for Zookeeper is a zoo alphabet in which each letter of the alphabet is represented by an animal or object that is important to a zoo. Words such as quarantine and incubator are used for the letters "Q" and "I". Each page offers cute illustrations with a poem about the word being used, as well as a paragraph that explains each animal/concept/object scientifically.
This book would be great to use as a whole-class read aloud before a field trip to the zoo. It would also be a useful tool to have in a classroom library due to the fact that it could be used as a scientific dictionary. This is a fun book and it offers enough nonfiction detail to where any K-5 student would find it useful and enjoyable.
