Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
When the Columbus Zoo (Ohio) hired Hanna as director in 1978, its chief attraction was the gorilla collection, but all the animals were caged and the buildings run-down. With hard work, imagination and a genius for promotion--this man could have given P. T. Barnum lessons--Hanna revamped and revived the zoo, turning it into one of the finest in the country. Since his childhood, he has loved animals; he had a home menagerie, ran a pet shop and petting zoo, worked for a wildlife adventure outfit. Written with Stravinsky ( The Not So Great Moments in Sports ), here is a collection of exuberant stories about the Columbus Zoo: successful breeding of endangered species, animal births and deaths, escapes (the monkeys of the title went north on I-71 to Cleveland in seven months), local and national TV appearances ( Good Morning America ; Late Night with David Letterman ), safari adventures. The book will leave zoophiles and animals lovers breathless. Photos. First serial to Cosmopolitan; Troll Book Club selection; author tour.

From Library Journal
This a lively and inspirational account of "Jungle" Jack Hanna's career. Currently director of the Columbus Zoo and a popular TV talk show guest, Hanna started at age 11 with the lowly chore of cleaning cages for a veterinarian. After college, he owned a pet store, ran a petting zoo, and oversaw a zoological garden. There are a few tales of disappointment, even tragedy, but for the most part, this is an upbeat story, and the unpredictable animal escapades are hilarious. Hanna strikes a strong message for conservation and points out the ability of animals to evoke positive responses in troubled humans. This should have wide appeal for YA and general readers.
