What’s New? The Zoo!/Kathleen Krull, Marcellus Hall by Scholastic Corporation/Arthur A. Levine Books

Did you know that the first zoo was established 4,300 years ago in present-day Iraq? Or that 50 buffalo passed through Grand Central Station in 1907 on their way to the Bronx Zoo? In What’s New? The Zoo! Kathleen Krull and Marcllus bring jazzy style and a globe-trotting eye to our millennia-long history of keeping animals and the ways animals have changed us in turn.

Why we like it: Nonfiction author, Kathleen Krull, continues to amaze.  This is the must-read book before taking your children to the zoo.  They will learn so many fun facts – for example, did you know the world’s first known zoo was in the Sumerian city of Ur (presently known as Iraq)?
