Fiction. Children's Literature. Ages 4 and up. Illustrated by Gina Aoay Orosco. THE RAINBOW ZOO is a magical place where you might find animals of any hue. Accompanying two children on a tour of the Rainbow Zoo, readers learn the names of animals and the names of colors. They also learn that whatever color animals might be, they are beautiful and special. The book thus celebrates diversity.

A delightful rhyme explains all of the colorful animals that some children see when they go to the zoo. Books of the Neighborhood Readers Program build early literacy skills, introduce important content-area language, and help develop speaking and writing skills. They can be integrated into any existing language arts or core reading programs.

Small children see their school caretaker as slightly superhuman. This is Joe Takecarer. Other primary characters: Adam (boy, three years old, black), Mary (girl, four years old, white), Jacob (boy, six years old, white), Linda (girl, six years old, white), infant school six to eight years old. The teacher is female (thirty years old, black).

This is the first book in "The Color Bunch" series. One of many to help little ones learn safety practices and get a jump-start in early learning associations. A great learning-listening book.
