Zebee’s Summer Zoo Camp

Hello all you people in Bloggerville. Zebee here. Today I have some news to share about, ahem, my summer camp.

Mori: Hey Zebee, it’s our summer camp.

Lito: Yeah! We all are participating in it along with the children, keepers and parents that come.

Zebee: Well, it’s just that our boss Joy named it after me, so I look at it as mine.

Mori and Lito: Okay, but we had input too, so did all the other animals and keepers here at the V Zoo.

Zebee: Sorry. I just happen to be the mascot, okay? So, I have news about the summer camp here at the V Zoo. There’s still time to register, so drop us a comment and let us know you want to come.

We are going to be highlighting a different animal each week. Some common and some not so common ones that live here in the V Zoo. We will have an ‘interesting little known facts trivia’ section, an arts and crafts project, pictures, puzzles and games. Be sure to pack a snack and bring along your imagination.

When is this summer camp going to be held? It’s every Tuesday from July 7th through August 25th. Eight weeks of fun and games.

Do you have a favorite animal you’d like to see us highlight one week? Just drop us a comment and we will work real hard to include it. So far we know that meerkats, bongos, elephants and hippos.

Also, my boss Joy is thinking up some type of prize. More on that later.

So, did I forget anything?

Mori: Did you mention that the children who participate can send in their pictures and we’ll post them here on the blog?

Lito: And what about the board game?

Zebee: Ssshhh! That’ not ready yet for announcement. And, no Mori, I forgot to mention that. So, for all you budding artists, send us your pictures of zoo animals. You can start now if you like and then when the summer camp starts, you can email us pictures of your arts and crafts projects.

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.
