Gòn Zoo offers reading space for children
It's great to see the Saigon Zoo and Botanical Garden partnering with Trẻ Publishing
House to create a "Reading Space for Children" this summer. It's important to
encourage reading habits in children, especially in areas where public libraries may
lack age-appropriate materials. The inclusion of books, comics, and magazines that
focus on natural history, plants, and animals is a great way to get children interested in
science and the environment. The zoo's summer activities, such as painting clubs,
games, and sports contests, will also provide a fun and educational experience for
young visitors. Overall, this is a wonderful initiative that will hopefully attract more
families to the zoo and promote a love of reading among children.
