A Worthwhile Purchase

This is a terrific book that my daughter returns to again and again. The illustrations are so interesting and layered with detail--you can find something new to appreciate and discuss however many times you read it. For example, there must be two dozen types of birds shown--flamingos, pelicans, chickadees, woodpeckers and more--just in the background. So there are lots of things to look at and talk about above and beyond the storyline, which focuses on zookeepers. I'm back at Amazaon to find something new by the same illustrator. Relationships between between animals and humans are shown in interesting ways. Noticibly non-sexist and non-classist. This book offers so much more than your typical board book. Enjoy it!

Very Educational

Reading I Am A Zookeeper many times to our son after our first visit to the zoo made the second visit much more exciting and meaningful. The book very well illustrated and depicks real life zoo scenes in a maner children can relate to. Along with learning all the animals names and zoo activities, we all enjoyed the zoo in a new light.
