Download or read book We Bought a Zoo written by Benjamin Mee and published by Weinstein Books. This book was released on 2011-11-22 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The remarkable true story of a family who move into a rundown zoo-already a BBC documentary miniseries and excerpted in The Guardian. In the market for a house and an adventure, Benjamin Mee moved his family to an unlikely new home: a dilapidated zoo in the English countryside. Mee had a dream to refurbish the zoo and run it as a family business. His friends and colleagues thought he was crazy. But in 2006, Mee and his wife with their two children, his brother, and his 76-year-old mother moved into the Dartmoor Wildlife Park. Their extended family now included: Solomon, an African lion and scourge of the local golf course; Zak, the rickety Alpha wolf, a broadly benevolent dictator clinging to power; Ronnie, a Brazilian tapir, easily capable of killing a man, but hopelessly soppy; and Sovereign, a jaguar and would-be ninja, who has devised a long term escape plan and implemented it. Nothing was easy, given the family's lack of experience as zookeepers, and what follows is a magical exploration of the mysteries of the animal kingdom, the power of family, and the triumph of hope over tragedy. We Bought a Zoo is a profoundly moving portrait of an unforgettable family living in the most extraordinary circumstances.

Megan is the first to notice the puzzling behavior of some of the animals. One day Megan disappears, and her brother and their friends realize it's up to them to find her. Their only choice is to follow a series of clues and sneak into the zoo. But once inside, they discover there's much more to the Clarksville City Zoo than they could ever have guessed...

This challenge is a stepping stone for her to become a more loving and kind person making her personality to be the best it can be. Secret of the Amazing Zoo was originally written in 2001 being released in 2013. The book grew with Mona growing into the talents to fully illustrate the original story. Since its inception, she developed needed skills to illustrate the entire book using the techniques in Photoshop and Illustrator computer programs. Lora is Veronica, Mona's daughter with some minor enhancements added to make her character fit in the book. Many of the original pictures were adaptations from frequent trips to parks and the Las Angeles Zoo. After hours and hours; days and months of training, Mona is very happy to release her first book, Secret of the Amazing Zoo. We would be remiss not to mention Sheri Hauser, her publisher, aided in the development of her skills pouring over the art pixil by pixil until it became what it is. We are proud to release Secret of the Amazing Zoo which will be immediately followed by the Arabic Language translated edition (by Mona, of course).
