On a Saturday morning, baby Dracula visits the zoo with his family, where baby Penguin lives with hers. But these intrepid young adventurers are not content with staying in their proper places.

Observant and adventurous young readers will love this tale of the shenanigans that happen when parents' backs are turned.--Publisher
