Brief summary of how to use with students: This book is about an unobservant zookeeper and a gorilla that follows behind him and unlocks all the cages at the zoo. All of the animals then follow the zookeeper home. The best way I would use this with students is to identify types of animals and ask them to see what happens when you are unobservant of your surroundings.
