Great book about Benjamin Mee and his family and their adventure of buying a derelict zoo. The family suffers the loss of Benjamin's wife, but soldiers on with the help of Grandma and Ben's siblings.
Having seen the movie - the book is VERY different, but a very good read. I hope that Mr. Mee will have the time to write more stories about his life as a zoo director.
