Summer Camp at the V Zoo Plans in Full Swing!

Happy Tuesday everyone! Zebee here.

Many zoos have summer camps. So, my boss Joy and her daughter Rebekha are planning a great virtual summer camp here at the V Zoo. Here they come now. Let’s listen in.

J: I’m really getting excited about our virtual summer camp Rebekha. You and the other zookeepers have been working hard on it to make it a winner.

R: Thanks mom. Sally and Tom have some great ideas. I like the crafts, education segments and of course the story telling time.

J: When do you think you’ll have the schedule finished? I’d like to start advertising soon.

R: In the next few weeks. Since it’s a virtual summer camp we don’t have to do as much preparation as we would at a brick and mortar zoo. This is much easier and I think the families that participate will have a great time.

J: Good. Keep me informed and let me know if there’s anything I can do to help. Got to go, I want to take a walk around the V Zoo and see if . . .

Sounds like we’re going to have lots of fun here this summer. I just know you’re going to want to participate. As soon as I know the details, I’ll pass them on.

Bye for now, and be sure to come back Thursday for another great book review.

Oh, and over at Books Go Beyond Reading from June 1 - 12 join us for the “Bounce into Books” book blog tour. It’s going to be lots of fun! More details tomorrow over at Books Go Beyond Reading

Tour Laughing Zebra - Books for Children

Hi everybody in Bloggerville! Zebee here.

Let's take a tour!

Hop on over to Laughing Zebra - Books for Children. Here you'll find all kinds of things that take my book, "Zooprise Party / Fiesta Zoorpresa" beyond reading.
I believe that children learn better if they get the message delivered in a variety of ways. Reading is wonderful, don't get me wrong, I just believe we can add to books to make the learning process even more fun.

What child doesn't like coloring pages? We have several to choose from. We also have an email link that children can send their pictures to us and we'll post them right there for all their friends to see.

Puzzles, puzzles and more puzzles. I love puzzles of all types, don't you? Here we have jigsaw puzzles, a maze, even a memory game you can print out and play.

Crafts are an all time favorite. We have several so far to choose from. There are two kinds puppets and a mask. I love crafts, so look for more in the coming months.

We even have recipes that can go along with "Zooprise Party / Fiesta Zoorpresa." Have you ever thought about what an okapi eats? What do they like that we humans like? Carrots! Since the story is about a birthday party, we have a few carrot cake recipes for you to bake and enjoy.

Who out there likes word games? I sure do, so we have a page dedicated just to them. Right now we have a word search and flash cards in English and Spanish. I know I'll be adding more here soon.

Of course, what would a publisher's site be with out a bookstore. Here we have our books for sale at 20% off plus free shipping. Oh, and they will be autographed by the author, illustrator and translator.

Since our books come with teacher's guides, we have a page just for teachers. I have plans for this page to include links to other sites that help teachers in all they do.

Want to see what's going on behind the sceens with Laughing Zebra - Books for Children? Check out our media page. There you'll see reviews, video clips, interviews and more.

You can also subscribe to our newsletter. You'll find a box to sign up os every page. If you find a page that doesn't have it, please let me know.

Make a Mask of Mori

Good morning, Zebee here. Have you ever made a mask? I’ve got a real easy one for you to make. It’s one of Mori. If you don’t know who Mori is, he’s the okapi in “Zooprise Party / Fiesta Zoorpresa.”

My boss Joy made one, here’s a picture of her wearing it.

You can get your mask with instructions over at Laughing Zebra – Books for Children

See you there!

Come back Thursday for another great book review.
