Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Zookeepers Care for Animals
Amy Moses · 1996
66/100
👎 Skip It
A perfectly serviceable early-reader nonfiction title that has served classrooms and libraries well for decades — but a 1996 publication date means zoo practices, conservation thinking, and animal welfare standards covered here may no longer reflect current reality. For a report or casual browsing it still works, but newer nonfiction titles on zookeeping will give kids a more accurate picture of the profession today.
