An informative and fun introduction to what you might do if you worked at a zoo.
Thoughts: I'm a big fan of Steve Jenkins and Robin Page. Their latest book does not disappoint. It's filled with interesting facts and amazing illustrations. The variety of animals included is nice. The additional information at the end of the book extend the book's interest beyond the reading. Here's what you'll find at the end of the book:
- What does a zookeeper do?
- Zoo pros and cons
- A zoo timeline
- Some of the world's top zoos
- Additional facts about all the animals in the book
As always, Steve Jenkins' cut- and torn-paper collage illustrations are fantastic. Such detail! The use of white space around them really makes them stand out. My favorite illustrations are the hippo getting its teeth brushed and the elephant seal getting weighed.
Themes: Zoo, Jobs, Elementary
