Saving the Baghdad Zoo: A True Story of Hope and Heroes by William Sumner, Kelly Milner Halls

4.0

I liked this book, because it reminded me of the cultural institutions that get shattered in war zone areas. Sometimes I can't tell if the animals actually had great living conditions prior to the bombing, but the story of people's efforts to save them and give them a better life is quite touching. I think kids would really enjoy this book, and it has sidebars so you could read as much or as little as you want.
