Find out what goes on behind the scenes at a zoo in this nonfiction story by zookeeper and TikTok sensation Jawnie Payne.

This gentle story is a perfect gift for kids who love animals or are going on a trip to the zoo. It follows the exploits of several characters over the course of a busy day–including zookeepers, a school trip, and some very mischievous animals! Along the way listeners will discover how the creatures are fed and kept entertained, as well as what goes on once the zoo shuts for the day!

By the end of the audiobook kids will have a newfound respect for all of the work that goes on to make every zoo experience memorable.

Critic reviews

A zoo employee herself with a viral following, Payne leads young visitors through a typical day at a generic zoological park... Readers may be surprised at the amount of training zoo animals receive; some are taught to station (or position) themselves a certain way to be X-rayed, to present paws for inspection, or to open their mouths at a hand gesture for dental exams... A wide-ranging zoological overview." —Kirkus Reviews
