Celebrate Halloween with the animals at the National Zoo in Washington, DC, in a fang-tastic board book created in collaboration with the Smithsonian.

It’s Halloween time at the Zoo.
The birds are ready with a BOO!

What’s more fun than visiting animals? Visiting them at the spookiest time of year! Watch that red panda who looks ready to trick-or-treat. Here are the otters, doing silly tricks. And while some creatures might cause you to jump, at this zoo there is nothing to fear! With a rhyming text, photos of favorite animals, and doodles and drawings by illustrator Lala Watkins adding to the playful effect, this is a welcoming bag of treats for little ones—no costumes or masks required.
Lala Watkins is the illustrator of the companion books Lunchtime at the Zoo and Snow Day at the Zoo. She is also the author-illustrator of Little Boo’s Halloween Party and Little Santa’s Workshop and the illustrator of Sankofa: A Culinary Story of Resilience and Belonging by Eric Adjepong. She lives in sunny Florida.
