Professor Wormbog in search for the zipperump-a-zoo Book

Oh sweet Glory!, why did I not know about this book before now? This is fantastic!!!!

This is some pure magic by Mercer Meyer here. His illustrations are glorious and why isn't this up for a Caldecott. There is so much in each detail of the story here. Tons to look at and its pure fun. It's too bad mercer Meyer didn't write more in this series than he did. I know there are a few. At least we have this book. I want to own this and so do the kids. This was a favorite.

Professor Wormbog collected beasties and what wonderful beasties they are. He goes looking all over for this one beast he doesn't have and he never finds it.

The children went nuts over this book. It has monsters so the nephew loved this book, but the niece did too. It's funny and for beginning readers and really, it's pure joy to read. The nephew wants to keep this book and he wouldn't let go until we told him we would get him a copy of the book. The niece was delighted by the story. Everyone was laughing with the story. It was a rare occasion when everyone gave this story 5 stars. We read it twice. There is so much in each picture that you need time to catch all the little jokes in there.


This is wonderful!!!
