Worms for Breakfast: How To Feed a Zoo

PopGr 2–5—Ever wondered how to feed a gorilla, an ostrich, or a skunk? Look no further than this recipe book for zookeepers. While readers aren't likely to need to feed a partula snail, it's fascinating to learn they eat a ground slurry of oats, dried grass, fish pellets, and cuttlefish bone. Fantastical digital collages give viewers plenty to puzzle over, such as a tiger relaxing on a pool float while eating a "Predator Popsicle." Each spread covers a different topic relevant to zoo animal conservation (feeding babies, storing food, dealing with picky eaters) along with a fun, though not always practical, recipe. While lacking report level information, this selection serves budding zoologists a treat to chew on. It provides a glimpse of the intricacies of feeding a menagerie of wild animals with diverse dietary needs.
