The National Zoological Park, as explored by Page, is a beautiful, eye-opening, and international experience. Page not only offers front-seat and behind-the-scenes tours of the zoo in Washington, D.C., he also covers animal preserves throughout the world. Page recounts how scientists and others from the Smithsonian have been working to return captive animals to natural habitats and ward off the extinction of tigers, elephants, and other endangered creatures. He keeps the scientific talk lively and entertaining at all times supplementing his text by 200 wonderful color photographs of animals in action. The illustrations will certainly enchant animal lovers, but all readers should appreciate this perspective on a zoo as an active force in wildlife conservation.

Characters? – Zookeepers and animals.
Setting? – real World
Written approximately? – 1990.
Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? – Makes me want to go see what the National Zoo is really like today..
Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? Updates. Index where animals, and some other institutions can be found in the book.
Short storyline: Kinda random discussions of animals in the National Zoo, and around the world. Fascinating as it flows from one place to another, and yet, if you wanted to look something up later, you wouldn't be able to find it.
Notes for the reader: Beautiful pictures. It would be fascinating to go to the National Zoo and see if the author's dreams of 23 years ago, actually came true. (
