This book is mostly about zoo and problems that occur in there. The bool is called Morgan's Zoo because Morgan is name of the man who owns the zoo. he also had two friends of his and their names were Alisson and Andrew and they helped Morgan to take care of animals and all the zoo. the zoo was called Chelsea Park Zoo and Morgans family were his animals and he treated them all as if they were his children, calling each by name. In the morning Morgan was walking around and looking how animals doing, but this morning he went around and didn't say nothing and the animals knew something was terribly wrong. Williame the pigeon was the first to hear the news and the news were the zoo is about to close and Clarence the chimp would be the first to go.

Something Tells me It's All Happining At The Zoo

Morgan's Zoo is a brillant story about animals that try to help Morgan (the zookepper) save the Chelsea Park zoo from being torn down.James Howe wrote using lots of details. I really admire this because in school I have always learned to be very vivid.For example, he said, Mayor Thayer's secretary informed him that the Mayor was out.I had a brillant time reading this book,I recomend you to read it.
