The book is classified as a beginner reader book, but it's suitable to younger children as well, who can guess which word will rhyme next. It has a similar moral tale to Dr Seuss books too - celebrating difference. He is refused and in arguing his case on why he should be allowed there he changes his spot colours. The story is about "Spot", who wants to live in the zoo. Interestingly, when we read the book again the other night it also reminded me of Herve Tullet's books, which play on colours and shapes. But while there are similarities between the way they write, and the style of illustrations, they are different authors. I had to do a little research about the author, Robert Lopshire as I thought he might have been a former or ghost name for Theodor Seuss Geisel, the man behind the Dr Seuss books. If you enjoy Dr Seuss books, you'll probably enjoy this book too. A funny story that helps introduce your children to colors. He enjoyed it and now it's the three-year-old's turn to be entertained by the story and playful rhyming words. Put Me in the Zoo (Spot), Robert Lopshire Spot, a polka-dot leopard who can change colors and even juggle his own spots, tries to convince two children that he is special enough to be exhibited in the zoo. It was actually a well-loved hand-me-down.
