The Greatest Zoo on Earth

Author: Frank B. Edwards

When 19th century showman J. Quigley Dumbleton decides to open a zoo in New York City, he declares that it will be "the greatest zoo on earth," filled with the biggest and the best specimens the world can offer. Each day, thousands of people pour into this fantastic attraction, paying a nickel apiece to see exotic animals from far and wide. But while J. Quigley becomes quite rich and the visitors have a very good time, the caged animals begin to wast away. It takes a young boy to identify the cause of the problem and offer a solution that works for everyone.
