| Publisher Description: ''Casey Gorilla knew just what he'd do when he woke up one morning in our city zoo...'' Every night, Casey Gorilla listened to his friends at the zoo, but he had no idea what they looked like. Casey longed to find out, and one day, he set out to do just that. Beginning readers will love this rhythmical, rhyming story of ''Casey's Great Escape,'' told from the point of view of one adventurous gorilla. Perfect for the Common Core, DC Ice's whimsical illustrations draw readers into Casey's world at the Como Park Zoo--and the delight (and fright) Casey the Gorilla delivered when he made a real-life escape from his enclosure one day. |
Contributor Bio(s): Shaw, Nancy Jo: - Award-winning author Nancy Jo Shaw of Mendota Heights, Minnesota delights us with yet another whimsical tale--this time about a gorilla named Casey. Raising her family and teaching school in the Como Park neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota, she frequently visited the zoo with her three sons and students from Chelsea Heights Elementary. Now a retired teacher and proud grandmother, she still enjoys visiting Como Park Zoo and Conservatory where she and her husband are members of Como Friends. Among Nancy's published works are six other children's books, including ''Give Her a Pixie'' and ''Spring Is Here.'' Visit her at nancy-jo-shaw.com |
