 Very informative and accurate November 9, 2008
Some of the rhymes may be clumsy, but speaking as an animal (zoo) keeper, this book is a real look for kids at what animal keepers really do. The illustrations are beautiful, and the information is incredibly accurate for the small ones. That's a big pet peeve for me... when books seem to consider kids too young to worry about the accuracy of scientific or animal related information.
That being said, it's also geared perfectly to kids' interests without losing a spark for adults. The animal keepers I know gathered around this book with delight when it was given at a baby shower. And believe me, we are TOUGH critics on animal books.
 A disappointing offering July 17, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
I had high expectations for this disappointing book. Some of the rhymes are clumsy: ""Don't lose your keys," all zookeepers say. Changing locks is expensive. Key starts with the letter K." Others are just foolish: ""X are those things animals leave everywhere. Zookeepers pick them up with the greatest of care." While the expository text for more advanced readers is interesting, the text for the younger students leaves a lot be be desired.
