the antelope to zebra artwork for "the zoo" is by herry perry. but the real story there is that the artist's real name is heather perry, a british artist known for her children's book illustrations in the 1920-1930s. she also designed fantastic ad posters for london's underground railway and its many destinations. one poster was the london zoo, done in 1928 and in the collection of the london transport museum.
if you're a homeschooling family, the puzzle itself is a wonderful activity. it works as an ongoing "break" or "bad weather day" activity. it works for multiple siblings to do together. it works for an older child's solo activity.
beyond completing the puzzle, kids can figure out the a to z animal names and spellings. each child could research one animal and where that animal is from, what it eats, and any interesting facts. or, the family could research one animal a week for a whole 50 weeks (giving you two weeks off during a year).
the animal names could be spelling words. their country names could be spelling words. simpler words that are related to a zoo could be used for a spelling list.
this puzzle is a lovely gift for a birthday or holiday. it could make a wonderful easter, christmas, or family gift. it's great for an animal-lover or puzzle-lover or teacher.
this is the type of puzzle sold in museum stores or catalogs.
