(3) K-3 Illustrated by Susan Deming. Author Payne (a TikTok-famed zookeeper) takes readers behind the scenes of an unnamed zoo, explaining how staff and volunteers feed, train, and care for the animals over the course of a day. Readers are also introduced to the variety of jobs available at the zoo as well as its role in promoting conservation and environmental protection efforts. Appealing soft-toned illustrations depict a variety of happy, healthy zoo residents and their human caretakers and visitors.
