Description
Did you know . . . * The first zoo was established forty-three hundred years ago in what is now Iraq? * Aztec King Moctezuma II had such an incredible collection of animals that it took six hundred men and women to care for them? * Children across Great Britain wrote to Queen Victoria when Jumbo the elephant was sold away from the London Zoo? * Fifty buffalo passed through Grand Central Station in 1907 on their way to the Bronx Zoo? * Zoos now play a crucial role in animal conservation? Kathleen Krull and Marcellus Hall bring witty insight, jazzy style, and a globe-trotting eye to our millennia-long history of keeping animals -- and the ways animals have changed us in turn.
