TESTIMONIALS
"Most memoirs of life at a zoo are written by former curators, zookeepers, or veterinarians. In a change of pace, this book is written by a public relations director, the man hired in 1965 to run the San Diego Zoo’s TV show, Zoorama. He was also to write news releases, send photos, answer letters and put on promotions. After one of his initial meetings with the zoo’s director, in which author Seaton told the director that the zoo’s brochure “stunk” —and then found out that the director had helped design it— he hit the ground running."
"After meeting an escaped gray kangaroo on a pathway, being told that the apes needed a shower (with Lifebuoy, no less), introducing Lassie to the sea lions, watching a keeper pick hay from a hippo’s teeth, and arranging to ship reindeer droppings to a woman (she made jewelry from them) he felt like he belonged. Seaton’s narrative is lighthearted, and all zoo-loving readers will appreciate his book."

"The book is hilarious — I'm sure it will be a hit with everyone who reads it. Has the Bill Seaton fan club been formed yet? I'll join for sure!"
