Planning on visiting the Central Park Zoo in New York City the following day, a little girl named Mimi has a dream the night before about the animals in the zoo. In her dream, Mimi observes the animals and sees them dancing, playing with musical instruments, and doing the things they love the best. Mimi also sees the popular Delacorte clock in the Central Park Zoo and its animal statues full of life. “Mimi’s Dream and the Central Park Zoo” contains colorful, playful, and fun illustrations based on the real and imaginary animals at the zoo. Accompanying text is full of Mimi’s impressions and the animals’ actions, preferences, and habits. This is a great book to read together before or after visiting the zoo. It even has a companion coloring book available called “Mimi’s Dream and the Central Park Zoo Coloring Book” also created by Maureen Mihailescu. It offers coloring activities with illustrations from the above original book. For ages 3 thru 7.
