Whoo! Hoo! Hoo!: The Carousel at the Zoo

The platform on the carousel runs round and round. Round and round. Round and round. The platform on the carousel runs round and round as the colorful poles go up and down.

Join Peg the Pig and her zoo friends for a magical ride on the carousel in Whoo! Hoo! Hoo! The Carousel at the Zoo. As the animals climb aboard, the colorful carousel begins to twirl and whirl. Giraffes, pandas, penguins, and pigs all take turns on the spinning horses and chariots. With each spin, hear the joyful whoops and hollers of the excited creatures and watch them dance and play. This delightful book, inspired by the classic tune "The Wheels on the Bus," will have young readers giggling and singing along as they follow the animals on their carousel adventure.
