Praise for The Golfer's Zoo: The Golfers' Zoo was the first book I bought for my baby and it instantly became our favorite. I hope Shane writes more kids' books. -Joel Dahmen, PGA Tour winner Finally a children's book about golf my daughter can relate to and enjoy. She doesn't care about birdies and bogeys but loves animals. What better way to introduce her to the game I love than through a trip to the Zoo! -Mark Hubbard, PGA Tour player While I might be a few years north of this book's target audience, I read this cover to cover and loved every page. Finally, a great golf gift for children. And by the way, what can't Shane Bacon do? -Tom Coyne, New York Times-bestselling author of A Course Called America and A Course Called Scotland, senior editor of The Golfer's Journal The Golfer's Zoo does what all the best golf products do: it brings moms and sons or fathers and daughters closer together. I'm grateful for the fruit of relationship within my home that this book has produced. -Kyle Porter, CBS Sports Finally, a book my daughter and I can both enjoy. -Andy Johnson, The Fried Egg Children's books predominantly explain why something is happening. The Golfer's Zoo invites children into an extremely grown-up game, that every adult wished they played as a child. Shane Bacon loves golf as much as anyone I know, and it shines through on each page. If one kid picks up a club as a result, he would treat it as a success. I suspect more will, thanks to this book. -Will Brinson, CBS Sports I'd like to golf with my newborn as soon as possible-he can't grip a club yet but he'll probably be better than me quite quickly. But until he can swing a driver, the next best thing for golfing fun together is reading Shane Bacon's The Golfer's Zoo, which we do often. The colors, the animals, the adventure are all awesome. I can even relate to the dad's bad short game. My son will be looking for animals as soon as he gets on the course now! -Kevin Clark, The Ringer
