Welcome to The Zoo Book Website, home of the fun and educational colouring book and video story: “When the Zoo Caught the Flu.”
The story follows a group of zoo animals along with Janine the Zookeeper facing a big challenge—a stormy day and a nasty case of the shivers and sniffles! With some quick thinking, Janine enliststs the help of a local business owner, John, but will it be too late for the wee critters?
The colouring and activity book also highlights the vital role of zookeepers, veterinarians, and conservation, showing children how zoos care for animals and protect wildlife. This makes it not only a fun tale, but also an educational resource that supports schools in teaching about animal care, animal rescue, biodiversity, and the importance of conservation.
