Reader’s Review
An adorable picture book about a zoo keeper who wakes up early every day and gets ready for a long day working and playing with the animals he watches over. But one day he’s too sick to go to work, and the animals decide to take care of him. A gentle story with a wonderful lesson; both parents and young children will enjoy this one.
To look out for
Not much of concern here, except for animals acting like human beings.
