![]() ![]() ![]() How is this series different from your other early chapter books, The Kids of the Polk Street School, and the Hunter Moran books for older readers? And certainly, that’s what zoos are doing. I think of capturing the world of wild life, making sure they have what they need. Deer come for a drink and birds swoop down for a nibble. What kind of research did you do in order to be in touch with the programs and initiatives that today’s zoos are undertaking ? What a thrill to see a tiger, to hear a lion roar. And then she took me to the zoo for the first time. I remember watching my mother pin pieces of bread on the line with clothespins because snow was coming and she wanted the birds to be able to reach food. I’ve always loved animals and want children to experience that same joy. What inspired you to use this setting to tell these st ories? Mysteries on Zoo Lane is a charming series about conservation, animal care, friendship, and problem- solving. Holiday House recently sat down with two-time Newbery Honor author Patricia Reilly Giff to discuss her new illustrated chapter book series, Mysteries on Zoo Lane. ![]()
