Well written and unbiased. Facts are presented, the reader is left to make their own choices regarding the value of zoos. There are many stories following the lives of featured animals, how they got there, their past if known, their future. The keepers, as well, are featured with insight as to their commitment to their charges and career. This is not a warm, fuzzy, animal story book. The Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, FL is portrayed as a business, as entertainment, as a conservator of species, as an educational institution and it is all these things.
