Young children will identify with the fact that different zoo animals like different foods, just as a child and her best friend don't always like to eat the same things. So, what do porcupines, potbellied pigs and polar bears like to eat? Zoo animals and their meals are clearly shown, sometimes revealing the animal's eating habits as well. Would mom let you eat like the panda does, shredding his food at the dining room table? Mention of the petting zoo and feeding the animals will bring back fond memories for some little ones. This book could be a good addition to classroom work about environment, animals or habitat. Random House's "Pictureback" series covers topics from the ABCs to Hanukkah to Whales, and some books are available in Spanish or bilingual editions. 2000, Random House, $3.25. Ages 6 to 8.
