Críticas:

"What, pray tell, is a zoomer? We meet a zookeeper-farmer hybrid who takes care of animal in-betweens, like the fast-swimming horsodile and the muddy but gloriously feathered pigcock. Kids will get a kick out of these animal mash-ups and the factoids offered for each. The text is playfully placed on the page, sometimes running vertically and other times filling the space with an extra-large font. Likewise, the endearing pen-and-ink illustrations make creative use of each creature's double-page spread and are rendered in muted tones. The quick facts about the animals occasionally lack the same degree of cleverness seen in the accompanying art. Even so, young readers will have fun identifying the two animals that make up each specimen. If the name isn't enough, they need only check the illustrations for clues, such as the duck and kangaroo evidenced in the duckaroo's webbed feet, high jumps, and egg pouch. The large-scale format and opportunities for participation make this a nice choice for a silly storytime."--Booklist

Reseña del editor:

This is not a handbook for farmers. Farmers look after chickens, cows, and pigs. Anyone can do that. This is not a handbook for zookeepers. Zookeepers look after monkeys, elephants, and lions. That's easy. This is a handbook for zoomers. Zoomers look after very special beasts.... Discover the secret of the shiger's stripy wool, the challenges of owning a loyal but gigantic dogephant, and the special skills of the super-fast horsodile in this mind-bending, creature-blending book. What wacky mixed-up animals can you imagine?
