Review Detail

THE LAST ZOOKEEPER is a futuristic retelling of Noah's ark where a machine finds the remnants of a human zoo. NOA creates a ship from the wreckage to carry the animals to safety where he recreates his version of a zoo. This story is told without words and each pictures says a thousand words with the attention to detail. NOA resembles AI in a post-apocalyptic world where the humans have been wiped out. It's a scary thought with a powerful message of how kindness can form anywhere. NOA cares for these animals without truly understanding what they are and wants to make sure they're protected from the next storm.


Final Verdict: THE LAST ZOOKEEPER is a great picture book for children aged four and up who like machines and animals. This story combines the two while introducing the idea of a natural disaster, like the earth flooding. Without words, it makes a great picture book for early readers who are learning concepts and morals.
