After being strapped into his car seat on the long ride to the zoo, a young boy is curious about all the rules he must follow and so asks his mother if any of the same rules apply to the animals he has come to see, such as the monkeys or the kangaroos. - Baker & Taylor

This warm and whimsical picture book opens with a little boy eagerly anticipating a trip to the zoo as his mother straps him into his car seat. Like most toddlers, he would rather run free than wear a seat belt, ride in a stroller, hold Mommy's hand, or climb into her backpack. As they pass various animal exhibits, the little boy asks teasing questions, such as "If I were a monkey, would I have to wear a helmet?" Mommy's light-hearted responses reveal, in a bouncy cadence, how animal and human moms alike keep their rambunctious young ones close and safe.
