Set across a busy day at the zoo, this illustrated nonfiction book brings together zookeepers, a school visit and mischievous animals. Its subject extends beyond the enclosures: children learn how animals are fed and kept entertained, and what happens after visitors leave. Scenes range from the big-cat enclosure to the penguin pool, with details to spot in Susan Deming’s illustrations. Written by zookeeper Jawnie Payne, the book offers a view of zoo routines alongside the familiar experience of a visit.
