Description
However naughty or difficult an animal, Ken's zoo will always give them plenty of care and understanding. This time he's got beavers who won't stop building dams, unruly ostriches, and a giraffe who's scared of heights. And when the council decides to close the zoo, there's a dragon at the gates.
