Halloween at the Zoo

About Halloween at the Zoo

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.
