About On the Loose in Boston

on the loose in boston

With simple rhymes and colorful, highly detailed images, cartoonist Sage Stossel creates a "Where's Waldo?"-style hit, setting animals free from Franklin Park Zoo and challenging children to find them in settings from Faneuil Hall, to the Esplanade, to Fenway Park. Children will have a ball helping the keeper find a rhinoceros in the North End, a koala bear in Chinatown, and a penguin on Boston Common. Over 100 animals are hiding cleverly in beloved Beantown settings.

"Not only are the illustrations awesome, Stossel engages the reader with challenging searches for the Franklin Park Zoo animals artistically hidden among her drawings, and she entertains us with a rhyming plot that tickles the tongue with wonderful vocabulary." Read more...

Recommended by Mommy Nearest Boston as one of "10 Books All Boston Kids Should Have on Their Shelves"
"One of the best books in the interactive "find-the-animals" genre happens to be set in Boston. An Atlantic magazine cartoonist, Stossel's illustrations are elegant, colorful and highly detailed, making it extra fun for kids (and grown-ups) to find the animals that have been set loose from the Franklin Park Zoo only to hide throughout the city."
