If I Ran the Zoo

This children's book follows a young girl as she imagines running her own zoo, exploring her ideas for the animals she would include, the food provided, training methods, and pricing for patrons. It is written in homage to Dr. Seuss. Additionally, the story highlights Gerald McGrew's fantasy of creating a unique zoo filled with bizarre and extraordinary creatures. Through a blend of rhyme, rhythm, and repetition, Dr. Seuss crafts an engaging narrative that helps children learn to read, while celebrating creativity and imagination.
