Autorenporträt
New York City native Joan Scheier, author of Central Park Zoo, visited all the zoos as a child and led many tours while she served as a city public school librarian for more than 25 years. She is now a wildlife guide at the Central Park Zoo. Her familiarity with the city's history and architecture paired with her love of zoos led to the writing of this book. Her talent as a researcher and writer make this book a loving tribute to her city and its zoos.
