The Arks Anniversary is a series of stories about Gerald Durrell’s wonderful zoo called the Jersey Zoological Park. It describes a variety of animals whom have been bred at the park. It also describes the various problems one can face while owning a zoo and the founder of one of the biggest wildlife trusts in the world. This book follows the path of Gerald Durrell as he starts the Jersey Wildlife Foundation Trust on the eve of their 25th anniversary. The classic humor of Durrell is legendary (to me). He is funny when he is not trying to be funny. His stories are some of my favorites as they talk about animals and biology. (my favorite subject!)
I liked this book for it was once my dream to own or govern a zoo, for
then I would have had the license to study animals at close quarters. Gerald
Durrell really understood animals, for before founding his zoo, he worked as an
animal supplier for zoos. Unlike other suppliers, he used to keep his cages
more spacious to give animals more place to breathe. That’s why when he started
a zoo, he made that his primary concern. So, the animals of his zoo looked and
were more content than they would have been at other zoos.
This book satisfies many points on subjects like Biology, Zoology and
Botany. I recommend this book to readers of ages 10+.
THE HOWLER RATING: ★★★★★
