Synopsis
Bert’s little sister knows that he loves to bring home pets and hide them in his room, and her curiosity about what is going on in there has been building and building. Finally she simply cannot wait any longer to check it out for herself. Inside, she discovers a zoo-worthy collection of animals tucked into every nook and cranny. But after she gets them out and about, can she undo the chaos and put everyone back in their proper places before Bert comes home?

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3—This picture book brings Hughes's poem to life with good-natured, lively watercolor and pen-and-ink drawings. Observing that her brother's pet collection is getting out of hand, a girl sneaks into his room (past a hand-lettered sign on his door that reads "NO GIRLS ALLOWED") where she interacts with a gorilla, a grizzly bear, a lion, four ostriches, an aardvark, several pangolins, 50 bats, a platypus, an ocelot, and more. She foresees quarrels and dances among the beasts, which burst out into the hallway and "shake the house with their Rumpus!" All of the creatures are shooed back to the room before Bert, a bespectacled, bookish fellow, returns home (leading an elephant). The verses are buoyant and accessible and Pearson's busy animal-filled drawings call attention to whimsical details: when the pig-tailed heroine hastily restores order, she plants herself on the sofa with a book that readers will note is upside-down. This delightful picture book will appeal to a wide audience of young readers and also makes an excellent read-aloud. The poem is included in Hughes's Collected Poems for Children (Farrar, 2007), illustrated by Raymond Briggs.—Marilyn Taniguchi, Beverly Hills Public Library, CA
