over America and zoos are the criminal’s behind it! Not too long ago‚ a Tiger was poisoned in a Nevada Zoo. The zookeepers claim they did it for the animals “own good”‚ They claim that it was all just a myth. Another incident‚ in the same Nevada Zoo‚ an animal was not fed and starved to death. Again the zookeepers deny the fact they did it on purpose. According to PETA‚ (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals)‚ They finally came out and said‚ “they needed more room in the zoo.” My opinion is

Ray Bigauskas English 092 October 26‚ 2014 Prison People are fooled into believing that animals in zoos are happy‚ safe and cared for.

A rationale to support the teaching of Anthony Browne’s ‘ZOO’ Anthony Browne is a very prolific children’s author and illustrator‚ whom some of the children may already be familiar. It is possible to use this familiarisation to discuss with the pupils reoccurring themes within Anthony Browne’s books. The anthropomorphism of his characters and the use of motifs‚ such as bananas and hats‚ are prevalent throughout his books. This is a quality that adds an extra-textual element to Browne’s work‚
