Booktalk: Explore the differences between gorillas in zoos and in the wild with the gorilla family troop in Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo. Delight in the similarities gorillas share with humans while finding out more about these incredible animals.

Snippet: Gorillas. What’s not to love? They’re smart, funny, busy, and hairy–from incredibly cute to seriously scary. They’re knuckle walkers. Vegetarians, too. Who knew you could become that strong just by eating your veggies?

It’s STEM Friday! (STEM is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)

by Laura Gehl (Author) and Joyce Wan (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Peep wants Egg to hatch so they can do fun things together, like watch the sunrise, splash in puddles, and play hide-and-seek.

Snippet: “Are you hatching yet?” Peep asked. “We’re going to have so much fun once you hatch!”

“Too scary,” said Egg. “I’m not hatching.”
