Splashtime for Zoo Animals is one of six books in a series about how zoo animals eat, sleep, play, bathe, have babies, and make noise. The photographer, Richard Hewett, and I spent many hours at zoos watching animals and waiting for just the right moment to take a picture. It is important to have LOTS of patience when photographing animals. You can't ask an elephant to "just turn a little more this way, please"! Even though the photos look as if we were close to the animals, we were always safely on the other side of a fence or inside a vehicle. Richard used a telephoto lens to make the animals seem close-up.
In photographs and simple text, describes the wide variety of sounds made by animals in the zoo. The Zoo Animals series introduces dozens of animals by describing behaviors that they have in common with people. The lively, often humorous color photographs join the simple, engaging text to show how zoo animals eat, play, bathe, sleep, communicate, and care for their young.
