People are Wild by Margaux Meganck - ADVISABLE

People are Wild by Margaux Meganck. PICTURE BOOK. Alfred A. Knopf (Penguin Random House), 2022. $18. 9780593301944

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE


AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE


Animals in the wild ask their moms about the human creatures they are looking at. Animal moms warn their children to keep their distance because of all the wild and strange habits of humans. 


This would be fun to read aloud for a short storytime as it is quick and the humor is cutely understated. I would however be prepared for questions as the final line suggests that we shouldn’t own anything wild and felt like a mild critique of zoos, etc.
