One Blue Gnu
by Danna Smith (Author) and Ana Zurita (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop | IndieBound

Booktalk: When a box of cell phones is accidentally delivered to the zoo, one blue gnu quickly calls two white sheep, who plan a party — beep beep beep! News of the party spreads to three orange apes, four red pandas and five green ducks… up until ten purple birds learn it’s party time! But oh no — who invited tiger, and who will he call on his new phone? Count from one to ten and down again!

Snippet:

Four red pandas in the sun
agree a party would be fun.

Booktalk: Roll into one little boy’s make-believe traffic world, filled with flashing lights, zooming cars, whirring helicopters, and racing fire engines.

Snippet:
Red light, stop.
Green light, go.

Cars and trucks
drive to and fro.
