I'd be pleased to re-read portions of this book while waiting in the lobby of a Christian business or at my in-laws' for the weekend; I'd be disappointed to receive it as a gift.

Interesting anecdotes for leisure reading, colored with some Christian commentary at the end of each story. I found the book a quick, easy, and entertaining set of zoo-keeper stories. However, it was not quite as insightful and profound as the endorsements from well-known preachers and authors would lead one to expect. Mr. Richmond certainly is an effective story-teller; the subject matter is lively; the spiritual connections are appropriate. When I finished, though, it wasn't a book that I planned to keep on my bookshelf.

I found this a wonderful book to read not only
About how zoo's work from the inside. But also
What zookeepers,assistants to the vets also go through
At at zoo on a daily basis . I live animals
And our paster suggested that we read this book
And actually loved it very much. I suggest
Anyone read this if they want to know more about
How zoo's work and how animals interact with
The zoo staff etc.
Very informational with bible verses at the end
Of each small chapter. I just loved this book!
