Travels with Zozo...near the Lagoon

Imagine if our pets could travel the world with us. What adventures would they have? What trouble would they get into? What friends would they make? In the Travels with Zozo... series of illustrated children's books for ages 4-8 years old, a fun-loving family of four brings their pet bunny, Zozo, on their trips around the world, and Zozo's escapades are bound to amaze, amuse, and inspire you. Author A.J. Atlas' extensive travel experiences in nearly fifty countries and throughout all fifty U.S. states provide firsthand insight into the settings for the books. Award-winning illustrator Anne Zimanski uses bright colors and expert digital artistry to turn the real-life places into beautifully colorful, imaginative worlds for Zozo and readers to explore. She adds an abundance of charm and heart to the culturally-diverse characters whom Zozo meets, and she packs Zozo's sweet, little, furry face full of emotion. Then, together, Atlas and Zimanski keep the pages filled with goofy gags and funny antics. So many, in fact, that rereading the stories is sure to surprise you with something new and keep you laughing. The tenth book in the exciting, award-winning series, Travels with Zozo...in the River Cave, takes readers to one of the world's most beautiful, jungle river caves in Belize. The cool, dark underground cavern and its powerful river current set a vibrant scene for Zozo's inner tube ride. The story begins with Zozo befriending a young, green parrot. She invites him to join her on the river ride. Bouncing and bobbing, swirling and sailing along, the two share an adventurous float along the jungle floor and into a series of dark caves. Amidst the friendship, a humorous moment leads other jungle animals to enjoy the ride too. Zozo's adventure brings her up close to the whimsically illustrated tropical residents-goofy, giggling monkeys, parachuting spiders, a teddy-bear-holding baby bat, quetzals, parrots, and a multitude of other birds. The animals add depth and richness (and laughs!) to the wonderful watery landscape showcased in this premium full-color 32-page book. Children and grownups alike are sure to fall in love with the "hoppity, floppity, huggable, snuggable" pet bunny, Zozo, in this beautifully-illustrated, pint-sized tropical travel log. They will be amazed by the detailed illustrations of actual plants, animals, and landscapes of Central America while laughing at the goofy goings-on in every corner of the pages. Bring your imagination and let Zozo be your guide to a world of amazing places!
