Life at the zoo

I have always loved Jack Hanna's informative (and frequently hilarious) segments on "Good Morning, America," so I was quite pleased to see his children's book, "Jungle Jack Hanna's What Zookeepers Do." The book combines an easy-to-read text with excellent color photos of the keepers and animals at the Columbus Zoo. The photos are credited to Rick A. Prebeg.The book gives the feeling that the keepers and animals together form a real community--a sort of multispecies extended family. The text emphasizes the bonds of trust that must develop between the keepers and the zoo residents.There are some wonderful images in this book: keeper Maureen caring for a baby gorilla named Akanyi, a lioness getting her teeth cleaned, rhea eggs in the incubator, and more. If your child loves the zoo or is generally interested in animals, this book is a good choice.

A Great Factual Zoo Book

Jack Hanna lives up to his great reputation as a zoo keeper with this informative, very interesting book about modern zoo life. He gives details about animal diets, exercise, health and dental care and animal training. As a teacher and lover of zoos I enjoyed learning more about the ways animals can be humanely treated while kept in zoo habitats. I also enjoyed Jungle Jack's personal comments about his love for various zoo animals! I highly recommend this book for zoo or animal lovers!
