About the Book

Did you know . . . * The first zoo was established forty-three hundred years ago in what is now Iraq? * Aztec King Moctezuma II had such an incredible collection of animals that it took six hundred men and women to care for them? * Children across Great Britain wrote to Queen Victoria when Jumbo the elephant was sold away from the London Zoo? * Fifty buffalo passed through Grand Central Station in 1907 on their way to the Bronx Zoo? * Zoos now play a crucial role in animal conservation? Kathleen Krull and Marcellus Hall bring witty insight, jazzy style, and a globe-trotting eye to our millennia-long history of keeping animals -- and the ways animals have changed us in turn.

About the Author :
PW says that Kathleen Krull "knows exactly how to captivate her audience" by combining historical particulars with "amusing anecdotes that put flesh and blood on dry literary bones." Her subjects range from music to science to sports, but her books are consistently smart and incredible fun to read. She lives in San Diego, California. Marcellus Hall has illustrated seven children's books, including EVERYONE SLEEPS, which he also wrote. His artwork has appeared on the cover of the NEW YORKER and in many other publications. He plays music and draws in New York City. Please visit his website at www.marcellushall.com.

Review :
Praise for What's New? The Zoo!: A Zippy History of Zoos "A whirlwind, episodic tour of zoos around the world through the ages.... fascinating facts intrigue while they inform.... The full-color ink and watercolor illustrations are rendered in a sketchy, elastic, cartoon style and feature a wonderful multicultural cast and playful moments for sharp-eyed readers to spot.... ideal for browsing purposes or for school reports." -- School Library Journal, starred review "From their beginnings as private collections of the rich and powerful to the mass attractions and conservation hubs they are today, zoos have an interesting and sometimes odd history, as Krull (the Lives of... series) details.... Kids of all ages will be left craving a trip to the zoo." -- Publishers Weekly "A romp through zoo history presented with pizzazz." -- Kirkus Reviews
