When an unexpected blizzard strands the animals of the Athensville Zoo in a seemingly empty elementary school overnight, Plum the peacock must overcome his anxiety to save his friend Itch, who gets lost in a snowdrift.

If Gerald McGrew ran the zoo, he'd let all the animals go and fill it with more unusual beasts--a ten-footed lion, an Elephant-Cat, a Mulligatawny, a Tufted Mazurka, and others.

A little boy visits the zoo with his family for the first time and marvels at all of the wonders it offers.

Amos McGee, a friendly zookeeper, is very considerate and always on time. But after a late night planning a surprise for all his friends, Amos is tired. So tired that he falls asleep during breakfast and misses his bus to the zoo! Now he knows he won't...

When the class bully disappears on a field trip to the River City Zoo, James Shoo, known as "Gum" and the other sixth-grade detectives are determined to find out what happened, and it is up to the reader to choose what direction their investigation will take.
