«Victor au zoo» is the children's picture book by Harrie Geelen, published by Albin Michel Jeunesse in hardcover (32 pages, in French).
Victor sets off for the zoo with his tricycle, his catapult, his kite and his favorite marble. There he meets an elephant, a deer and a crocodile, and each animal takes a fancy to one of his objects. Victor proposes a swap: the tricycle for the trunk, the kite for the antlers and the catapult for the tail. When he gets home, his mother does not recognize him and is frightened, but Victor reassures her by showing her his marble to prove he is still himself. The book reflects on identity and the moment when a child faces the outside world.
First French edition of a book originally published in 1992 and reissued in 2015 by the Dutch publisher Querido. Translation by Emmanuèle Sandron. Recommended reading age: 3 to 5 years.
Suitable for early readers and for sharing aloud; it deals simply with themes such as identity and growing up.
