5.0 out of 5 stars If You Love Betty and Animals, You'll Love This Book! December 6, 2011
Format:Hardcover
Betty White has been a lifelong animal lover. She is also best known for comedic, genius, witt and humor along with her acting talents. Betty White is a national treasure in the entertainment field. At almost 90 years old, Betty White is better than ever.

This book is about the loves of her life at the Los Angeles Zoo. If you're planning to visit the Los Angeles area, you might want to add the Los Angeles Zoo on your list of attractions. You might see Betty there visiting her friends. She is a supporter of the zoos existence all over the country. If you have a zoo in trouble, call Betty and she'll come to the rescue.

This book argues for the zoos existence as conservation and preservation of endangered animals and species. Betty loves all the animals there and has an all-access pass to the zoo itself. The pictures in this book are colorful and show Betty's spirit. She spends a lot time at the Los Angeles Zoo. It's her home away from home.

This book is not so much reading as it is seeing pictures and some writing to express the history. It's not a difficult read but it's worth reading. It's great for Betty White fans and animal enthusiasts to see the positives of zoos like the Los Angeles and others around the world in keeping the animals there for our enlightenment.
