Provides a behind-the-scenes look at a working day at the zoo, from the moment the workers arrive until the night guard locks the gate.

‘Before the zoo opens each day a small army of keepers, vendors, and maintenance workers perform the daily tasks of cleaning and setting up. Then the crowds flock in. . . . The busy pictures are filled with details and action. The writing is crisp, clear, and informative.’

This book describes the different things that go on behind the scenes at the zoo. For example, it explains what the animals are fed, where the babies are cared for, and what the zookeepers do each day. I really enjoyed reading it as it explores the things that happen at a zoo that no one sees. It was fun, and simple and very interesting.
