Bryn enjoyed this story while Freya was entranced by the front cover. I think she liked the light reflecting of the shiny blue lettering.

Supermarket Zoo is the tale of a little boy shopping with his mother & surprised to be buying animals such as lions & giraffes. Near the end there is a surprise animal whose name was smudged on the shopping list.
The pictures in the book are bright & bold. It’s fun to see the animals on lined up on shelves & next to the familiar items you’d expect to see in a supermarket such as penguins & polar bears in the fridge next to the ice lollies.

Our next trip to the supermarkets was lots of fun as Bryn and I were spotting all sorts of animals. We tried to guess what type of animal would we find based on what aisle we were in, we spotted monkeys in the bananas & rabbits by the cauliflower. In the cold fridge aisle Bryn was sure he spotted an artic fox.

Personally while a fun read I think the idea of a supermarket of animals was more successful than the actual story
