When Erika and Patrick's parents leave them home alone for the night, they head straight to the attic to explore. When they open a mysterious box, hundreds of animals come pouring out! Soon the town is awash in more and more zoo animals, until Erika and Patrick discover that the tables have been turned... and the animals now run a zoo full of humans!
With simple text and bright, graphic art, Ariel Cohn and Aron Neils Steinke have created a gentle, fantastical adventure for the very youngest of readers. The Zoo Box will be a terrific introduction to comics for both learning readers and their parents.

Ariel Cohn and Aron Nels Steinke live in Portland, Oregon, with their son, Marlen, and their three rambunctious cats. Apart from dreaming up stories for children, Ariel is a trained Montessori preschool teacher and metalsmith. Aron is a second and third grade teacher by day and cartoonist by night. All summer long you will find them in the forests of Oregon, eating wild berries and jumping in waterfalls! Their graphic novel The Zoo Box was published by First Second.
Gr 1–3—Erika and Patrick's parents are going out for the evening, and Erika has been left in charge. Their parents promise that if they are good and in bed on time, they will earn a trip to the zoo the next day. After promising to behave, the kids head to the attic to play dress-up. Patrick stumbles across a box labeled "DO NOT OPEN." Unable to resist the temptation, he opens it and unleashes a flurry of wild animals. The creatures file out of the house and down the street, and the kids join them, disguised as a tiger and a bear. They arrive at a zoo and are stunned to realize that humans make up the exhibits! Eerily exciting and fun, this adventurous graphic-style picture book really turns the tables on the familiar, sweet, happy-ending children's book. Very Jumanji-esque, this book will be a favorite for children who like stories that are a little edgier. Filled with brightly colored illustrations and nicely spaced speech bubbles, the book is easy to read and highly visually appealing. A terrific choice for new readers who gravitate to graphic novels but aren't quite ready for most of them yet.—Amy Shepherd, St. Anne's Episcopal School, Middleton, DE
