Do We Need to Send Books to the Zoo Too?
August 24th, 2006

I recently took a trip with some other First Bookers to the National Zoo in Washington, DC, and visited the small mammal house, where one of our colleagues volunteers. When we were looking at the golden lion tamarins, one of the zoo keepers told us that he often brings pop-up books with him to “read” to the animals. The tamarins are so curious and have such a keen sense of space, that they often come right up to the glass to view the colorful pages and three-dimensional images in the books. It turns out even golden lion tamarins enjoy a good book!
Bonnie, Katie, and Andrea take a break from their work day at First Book to visit the National Zoo.

Look at you all at the zoo! I’m glad you are taking the time to visit my favorite baby panda and the tamarins - I bet Tai Shan would enjoy a First Book storytime! :)
