It would be useful in teaching them descriptive adjectives and perhaps inspire them to look more closely at their surroundings.

This is a great book for young readers. It has some rhyming and some repitition which makes it easy for students to read along. It is also a book they might be able to relate to which is great for discussing background knowledge and building new knowledge.

This book includes very colorful illustrations of zoo animals. It uses some descriptive words about the animals. It could be used for student identification of different zoo animals.

In Mem Foxes book Zoo-Looking is a book about a child at a zoo looking at the animals and they end up look back at her. The book has very little words just enough for children to stay interested. The pictures also is colorful and big. This book is toddler friendly.
