Maestro Stu Saves the Zoo by Denise Brennan-Nelson illustrated by Tim Bowers

Mr. Cooper wants to buy the zoo, tear it down and build a mall.  He schmoozes the city officials and proceeds with his plan.  Stu, who lives down the block from the zoo, helps the animals come up with a plan to save it.
The book is full of idioms.  The story line is more suit for early elementary, but the idioms may make it confusing.
A great book to use when introducing idioms to students.  The author defines each one at the back.
Strategies: inferring-figurative language
