The Great Zoo Break - Neil Hollander Book

As a writer, Neil Hollander has dedicated many working hours writing books for the young ones. Some of those books are now part of the collection '100 best children's books'. One of those books is and 'The Great Zoo Break.'

The Great Zoo Break is a kids book originally published in 1982. It is a story about a hippo, a giraffe, a monkey and a crocodile living in a zoo in New York. One day, while the zoo-keeper sleeps, they decide to break out of their cages and start out for the airport to catch a plane to Africa. Lacking the money needed to buy tickets they proceed to entertain in the town to earn their fares before departing. The book displays Susanna Gretz's illustrative talents and Neil Hollander's writing skills.
