Midnight Madness at the Zoo (Arbordale Collection) - Softcover

Midnight Madness at the Zoo, is a delightful children's book that incorporates a love of basketball and animals. It's an imaginative tale that explains why the animals at the zoo are always sleeping. - The Old Schoolhouse Magazine

Craig's sturdy rhymes are faithful to the rhythm she establishes, and the occasional use of basketball jargon (defined in a glossary, included along with supplemental activity suggestions) adds welcome dashes of irreverence. - Publishers Weekly

The aftermatter-basketball glossary, math activities, and information on endangered animals-makes this a solid-enough purchase for classrooms. - Kirkus Reviews

The bustle of the crowd is waning and the zoo is quieting for the night. The polar bear picks up the ball and dribbles onto the court; the nightly game begins. A frog jumps up to play one-on-one and then a penguin waddles in to join the team. Count along as the game grows with the addition of each new animal and the field of players builds to ten. Three zebras serve as referees and keep the clock, because this game must be over before the zookeeper makes her rounds.
