(3) K-3 Illustrated by Steve Jenkins. As part of their mission "to make sure [animals] stay healthy and safe," zookeepers are called upon to do a lot of things. Shining a tortoise's shell, brushing a hippo's teeth, and making a frozen bloodsicle for a hyena are some of their many duties. Jenkins's consistently masterful cut-paper illustrations showcase twenty-one creatures (one or two per spread); a few sentences of text provide more information about the animal and its care. The final two spreads offer a quick zoo timeline, "zoo pros and cons," a world map showing some top zoos, and more information about the featured species.
