In today’s storytime lesson, we explored “The Zoomers Handbook” by Anna and Thiago de Morais, which introduces magical creatures that require special care. We learned about unique animals like the Gotrilla, Polar Cow, and Jirafooster, each with their own fun characteristics and abilities. By the end of the session, children were encouraged to imagine themselves as “zoomers,” taking care of these enchanting beings.
  1. What is your favorite magical creature from the story?
  2. What do you think it would be like to be a zoomer and take care of these animals?
  3. Can you think of a special thing you would do for your favorite magical creature?

Welcome to Storytime!

Hello, friends! How was your day? Did you have fun playing and learning new things? Today, we have a special story to share with you. It’s called “The Zoomers Handbook” by Anna and Thiago de Morais. Are you ready to explore? Let’s go!

What is a Zoomer?

“The Zoomers Handbook” is not for people who take care of regular animals like monkeys or cows. It’s for zoomers who look after very special and magical creatures. Let’s meet some of these amazing animals!

Meet the Magical Creatures

Gotrilla: This creature loves to climb and swing from trees. It eats lots of bananas—10 cans a day! Yum!

Polar Cow: This animal is super cool! If you feed it strawberries and make it dance, it gives you ice cream. Imagine having ice cream whenever you want!

Shiger: This is Grandma’s favorite. Its stripy wool makes the warmest sweaters. Perfect for a cozy hug!

Chicken: It lays yummy eggs, but be careful when feeding it corn from your hand!

Horse Dial: Need to go somewhere fast? This animal can take you there, even underwater like a submarine!

Peacock: It’s one of the prettiest animals, but its feathers are often muddy. Maybe like your shoes after playing outside!

Dog Offend: Loves to play, but watch out! It’s heavy, so don’t let it jump on you!

Jirafooster: This tall creature wakes you up early by spotting the sun first. It’s like your morning alarm!

Duckaroo: It doesn’t need a nest. It keeps its eggs in a pouch, just like a kangaroo!

Libidit: It’s small but wants to be treated like a king. Who doesn’t like feeling special?

Become a Zoomer!

Now that you know all about these magical creatures, you can be a zoomer too! It’s a fun job taking care of such special animals.

Enjoy the Story!

We hope you loved “The Zoomers Handbook.” These creatures are so interesting! If you want to see more, you can get a copy of the book and enjoy the cute pictures.

Thanks for joining us for storytime. We can’t wait to see you again soon. Bye for now!

  1. Which magical creature from “The Zoomers Handbook” would you like to take care of and why? Can you think of any special powers or abilities you would give to your own magical creature?
  2. Imagine you are a zoomer for a day. What fun activities would you do with your magical creature? How would you make sure it is happy and healthy?
  3. Have you ever seen or heard about any real animals that remind you of the magical creatures in the story? What are some things you find special or interesting about them?
  1. Create Your Own Magical Creature: Use your imagination to draw or craft a new magical creature. Think about what makes your creature special. Does it have a special power or a favorite food? Share your creation with the class and tell a story about how you would take care of it as a zoomer.

  2. Animal Observation Walk: Go on a walk around your neighborhood or school and observe the animals you see. How are they similar or different from the magical creatures in “The Zoomers Handbook”? Draw a picture or write a sentence about your favorite real-life animal and imagine what magical abilities it might have if it were in the book.

  3. Role-Playing Game: Pretend to be a zoomer taking care of one of the magical creatures from the story. What would you need to do to keep your creature happy and healthy? Act out feeding, playing, or caring for your creature with a friend or family member. Discuss what you learned about responsibility and kindness from being a zoomer.

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Greetings! Welcome back to the Storytime Family. How was school today? Did you have lots of fun playing with your friends? Or how was kindergarten? Did you learn many new things today? Did you read many books?

Well, today we’re going to be reading “The Zoomers Handbook” by Anna and Thiago de Morais. Shall we have a look? Let’s go!

“The Zoomers Handbook” is not a handbook for zookeepers. Zookeepers look after monkeys, elephants, and lions—that’s easy! This is not a handbook for farmers either. Farmers look after chickens, cows, and pigs—anyone can do that!

This is a handbook for zoomers. Zoomers look after very special beasts. What kind of beasts could they be? Friendly ones? Mean ones? Big ones or small ones? Let’s find out!

Take the Gotrilla, for example. He likes to climb and swing from trees. Remember to feed him at least 10 cans of bananas a day. He loves to eat bananas!

Next, we have the Polar Cow—a very practical animal. If you feed it strawberries and get it to dance around before milking time, it makes ice cream! Don’t you want one of these? Imagine having ice cream all the time—wouldn’t that be great?

The Shiger is Grandma’s favorite animal. Its stripy wool makes the nicest jumpers—oh so cozy! I wish I could hug one of these when it’s cold.

The chicken lays delicious eggs, but letting it eat corn from your hand is not a good idea.

The Horse Dial is the best ride when you need to get somewhere fast—even if it’s underwater, just like a submarine, I suppose!

The peacock is one of the most beautiful animals on Earth, at least in theory. Few people have seen its feathers as they are often covered in mud—like your shoes, maybe.

The Dog Offend loves to play, but don’t let it jump on you; it can be quite heavy!

The Jirafooster will get you up bright and early. It spots the sun from way up high as soon as it starts to rise.

The Duckaroo doesn’t need a nest; it keeps the eggs in its pouch instead—like a kangaroo, except they don’t have babies, they have eggs!

Finally, beware of the Libidit. It may be small, but it likes to be treated like a king. Who doesn’t like to be treated like a king?

Now that you’ve met all the animals, you know what it takes to be a zoomer. It’s time to get to work!

And that was “The Zoomers Handbook.” On the back of the front cover, we have a cute chart with illustrations. If you get a copy of this book, you’ll be able to see what these are more clearly.

Hope you like “The Zoomers Handbook!” Those animals are quite interesting!
