Dreams are made of wonder! And that's just what the Once Was Maybe Zoo is all about- imagining the impossible. Try to envision a Toad and a Hippo combined, or a Turtle and a Gorilla. The Once Was Maybe Zoo mashes up magic, wonder and the natural world in to a wondrous and silly trip through the imagination. The book was written by the Karp family as a fun way to teach our girls that you can do anything. We have 3 beautiful girls aged 11 to 1 and we love telling fun stories at bed time. Grandma helped too! It's a fun story for children of all ages from toddlers to elementary age children. What fun animals can you imagine
