Reviews:
“Zooprise Party/ Fiesta Zoorpresa” is a delightful, fresh book that
is taking children’s literature to a new level! It will be enjoyed in
many parts of the world since it is bilingual (in both English and
Spanish languages). Not only educational, this book also comes
with a fun Activity book and Teacher’s Guide. Look for more in
the “Laughing Zebra” series!

“Zooprise Party” is a wonderful children’s book that tells the story
of an Okapi who believes that all of his animal friends at the zoo
have forgotten his birthday. Author Rebekha Delgado and illustrator
Joy Delgado use the story to subtly teach the reader some
interesting facts about some unique animals. The best lesson of all
for the children who will enjoy this book is that friends come in all
shapes, colors, sizes, and backgrounds and that our friends represent
some of the most important things in our lives.
