We Bought a Zoo by Benjamin Mee

I'm back on to We Bought a Zoo! The story is really starting to unfold. Ben and his kids had passed up the opportunity for the zoo. But Ben explains about how he sees it, buying the zoo, as a once in a life time opportunity. So the family goes back and takes a tour of the zoo. The way Mee uses sensory words to describe each and every step he took at the zoo, it makes you feel like you were on the tour with him.

The book is starting to connect a lot more with the movie now that they family is becoming intertwined with the zoo. I'm still really excited that the Mee's bought the zoo!! But I also get really anxious whenever I read this book because Mee always speaks about how he has to keep with drawing money to keep up with the zoo. I'm really loving this book so far though!
