If you’re a fan of local children’s author Monica’s Holtz’s Emily at the Zoo, you’ll be excited to learn she has just released her second book – also featuring Chippewa Fall’s Irvine Park Zoo – this one entitled Behind the Zoo. Again focusing on adventurous little Emily, Holtz’s second book boasts beautiful full-color photos of zoo animals (shot by Shane Opatz), many of which were not included in the first book. Both books offer young readers unique opportunities to learn about animals, as well as enjoy rhyming stories about life at the zoo. Donating a portion of the book’s proceeds to the very location that inspired her writing (Irvine Park Zoo), Behind the Zoo is available for $8 at various retail locations, including The Local Store.
