| Imagine feeding a hungry tiger or trimming an elephant's toenails! This dynamic title gives readers an up-close, out-of-this-world look at zookeepers. Inviting, easy-to-read text pairs with oversized, action- packed photos and Fact Alert boxes to reveal what it's like to work as a zookeeper, including daily tasks, unique challenges, and the special gear and tools used. Readers will also learn about the history of zookeepers, safety methods, and required education and experience. PUBLISHER ANNOTATION, c2011. |

| Gr 2-4-Action-packed photos, energetic orange backgrounds, and lots of white space around child-friendly texts give this series audience appeal, as do the daring jobs depicted. Chapters about daily tasks, educational requirements, and special gear cover expected topics. Encouraging 'When I Grow Up' chapters suggest simple, career-related activities, while 'Then to Now' sections provide glimpses into the history of each job, extending the learning experience in sometimes thought-provoking ways. In Miners, for example, a black-and-white photo shows a boy working in alarmingly dirty and dangerous conditions. Mention is also made of the present-day dangers and other downsides of these high-interest jobs. Eye-catching, black-and-yellow 'Fact Alert' sidebars keep the facts flowing, and clear, informative captions are also a plus. 32pg. SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, c2011. |
