WHY IS VISITING A ZOO IMPORTANT FOR CHILDREN?

Visiting a zoo and creating a field trip out of it, can help children to understand the importance of animals and how they correlate with nature and the environment.  While visiting a zoo, you can ask questions, to learn and understand a variety of animals as  you walk around and explore.  We made it simple by incorporating this free zoo field trip guide!

free zoo field trip guideUnicorn Jazz is a dazzling young unicorn with incandescent purple hair, a golden horn and shining hoofs to match. Although quite timid in nature, her most stunning quality is her voice in song. When she and her parents move to a new place for the first time, she finds herself at odds with the other animal members.

Jazz’s adventures take place at a Zoo. In real life, the El Paso Zoo is located in El Paso, Texas and has been a longtime community landmark and family favorite and where author, Lisa Caprelli, grew up. Lisa was inspired by her own zoo memories. She included the historical zoo animal, Mona the Elephant, in the story because it was a favorite attraction as a child. “Let’s go see Mona! was a common request I had as a little girl,” Lisa recalls.

“I encourage children to visit your local zoo to discover, get outdoors, encourage bonding, explore and enjoy through a fresh perspective.”

Educators can create more childhood memories by making the most of their classroom zoo visits. The Unicorn Jazz™ Field Trip Guide is designed to help students think critically, make predictions, and explore the zoo environment with curiosity and excitement.
