Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

The thrilling subject, colloquial style, and dramatic color photos will draw beginning readers to this Jungle Jack Book in the Hello Reader! series. Some words are long, but children will work them out as they read to find out what the commissary in the zoo prepares for the tigers to eat; how dental work is performed on a gorilla; and why the rhinoceros (pachyderm) needs to have oil rubbed into its thick skin. With those kinds of facts, there is really no need for all the exclamation points on every page: reading about a spitting cobra in the reptile house or looking at newly hatched eagle chicks is exciting enough. Good readers will enjoy this, too, and so will the read-aloud audience. Hazel Rochman

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Factual Zoo Book, May 17, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Jungle Jack Hanna's What Zookeepers Do (Paperback)
Jack Hanna lives up to his great reputation as a zoo keeper with this informative, very interesting book about modern zoo life. He gives details about animal diets, exercise, health and dental care and animal training. As a teacher and lover of zoos I enjoyed learning more about the ways animals can be humanely treated while kept in zoo habitats. I also enjoyed Jungle Jack's personal comments about his love for various zoo animals! I highly recommend this book for zoo or animal lovers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Life at the zoo, November 10, 2001
I have always loved Jack Hanna's informative (and frequently hilarious) segments on "Good Morning, America," so I was quite pleased to see his children's book, "Jungle Jack Hanna's What Zookeepers Do." The book combines an easy-to-read text with excellent color photos of the keepers and animals at the Columbus Zoo. The photos are credited to Rick A. Prebeg.

The book gives the feeling that the keepers and animals together form a real community--a sort of multispecies extended family. The text emphasizes the bonds of trust that must develop between the keepers and the zoo residents.

There are some wonderful images in this book: keeper Maureen caring for a baby gorilla named Akanyi, a lioness getting her teeth cleaned, rhea eggs in the incubator, and more. If your child loves the zoo or is generally interested in animals, this book is a good choice.
