When Grandma comes to visit, she invites Lotte to go to the zoo with her. For the sake of peace, Lotte agrees, even though she doesn't think much of zoos. Then the clever granddaughter takes the opportunity to educate her grandma about animal welfare. This is an extraordinary picture book for both young and old that critically examines the zoo as a place where animals are displayed for entertainment purposes. The illustrations depict scenes for which the artist couple has lovingly crafted numerous figures with great attention to detail.
