I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
I think the idea for a Zoo on The Moon as a children’s book is a pretty good idea. I do not think it was executed well.
The animals shown on the moon were weird mutations of Earth animals. It had animals like a penguin with two heads and a crocodile snowman. These were more strange then funny. I actually think alien animals would have been more interesting.
Finally, there was no main character. In the end it showed an astronaut leaving the moon, but we don’t see him anywhere else in the book.

The Zoo on the Moon is filled with strange creatures like turtles with false teeth, elephants with faces on their tails, giggling giraffes stuck in buckets, and sunbathing hot dogs with mustard for sunblock. No humans have ever gotten a look before now and kids sure get an eyeful!
Whimsical and fun, Zoo on the Moon is adorable and fun to read. I love books with a sense of humor for young kids, as they can get the giggles starting between parent and child. This book is well illustrated and is sure to be cherished. I could see it being used by teachers as a lesson plan for imaginative drawing and writing, or by a librarian during story time. Zoo on the Moon is a book that I would recommend to readers, young and old.

Well, for a silly and frivolous nonsense poem this does very well. The moon has a zoo, and through this rhymed book we see a lot of the absolutely absurd animals that are up there – from the rhino with hedgehogs for feet to the two-headed penguins and back. The verse is done really well, although of course the scope for word play should make the meter and rhymes even easier to come up with. I guess this is four stars, although I'm not the genre's hugest fan, and I don't see this getting that many re-reads. It could only work as an inspiration for our own wacky animal creations as well, so it will definitely have mileage, if no lifetime fans.

Lots of strange creatures like marshmellow monkeys and all kinds of other creatures. We liked the rhyming structure but the pictures were more strange than cute-quirky. It felt a little Seuss-ish but not enough for Miss 4 to want to read again.
Miss 4 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.

Zoo on the Moon is an adorable book about "moonagerie" of strange creatures! Any lover of Dr. Seuss will be a fan of this book. The rhyming, illustrations, and the creativity really bring the animals to life. I think this book is perfect for any preschool/elementary school teacher, parents, or anyone with small children. My 2.5 year old thought it was hilarious and wishes she could take a rocket to the moon.
Thank you NetGalley and Windmill Books!

My son absolutely loves this book as a light hearted bedtime read. I now read it to my two year old niece and she giggles! They both love the pictures and the fun characters. Highly recommended for young children.

A fantasy book about zoo on the moon and what animals you can find there. A purely imaginative book, with imaginary creatures, and a good one to pass time.
