When your Kid is the Smartest one at the Zoo...

Turn your next animal encounter into a memory your kids (and their friends) won’t stop talking about.

There’s something timeless about a zoo trip.

The wide eyes when a giraffe bends down for a leaf. The belly laughs when a monkey makes a silly face. The awe of hearing a lion’s roar up close. For kids, it’s pure magic. For adults? It’s a golden opportunity—one that goes way beyond fun.

Because the zoo isn’t just a place to wander. It’s a stage for storytelling, curiosity, and connection.

That’s exactly what inspired The Crazy Collective Nouns Collection (or as we lovingly call it: CCNB).

We wanted to create a book of pure fun! One that entertained and educated. With CCNB, it’s easy to effortlessly memorize the name for animal groups.

So, when your kiddo sees a bloat of hippos , or a dazzle of zebras , or a flamboyance of flamingos , they’ll know just what to call it.

The animal facts pages at the end of the book add even more fun, and invite kids to think like explorers, ask questions, and leave with wild new knowledge they can’t wait to share.

I mean, how many other kids do you think will know that lemurs have stink fights?

Want to feel impressed at the zoo? Let your child be the guide.
CCNB turns any zoo visit into an adventure where your child is the smartest one in the group—and best of all, they were having barrels of laughs while they learned it all.

And suddenly, your little one isn’t just looking at animals—they’re connecting with them. They’re telling stories. They’re asking questions. They’re remembering things for life.

Here’s how to bring the book to life on your next zoo trip:

•  Take a field journal (or just a notepad) and let your child jot down animal “discoveries.” Bonus: Let them name one species themselves.
  
  

•  Make it a scavenger hunt. Find animals from the book and match them to their facts—or spot something not in the book and make up your own!
  
  

•  Encourage storytelling. At the lion enclosure, ask: “If this lion could talk, what would it say today?” Kids’ answers are gold.
  
  

Whether you’re heading to a big zoo or a small animal park, CCNB makes the day richer, deeper, and more memorable. It gives kids a role to play—and helps them build confidence through storytelling, observation, and wonder.

The Crazy Collective Nouns Collection: African Animals is more than a book—it’s an experience waiting to happen. Whether you're planning a family outing or just looking to inspire your little zoologist from home, this is a story they’ll come back to again and again.

See you on safari,
