AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Joan and Jean, two senior school-girls, build snow sculptures, 'perfect in every detail and built exactly to scale' (p. 73). On one particular camping trip, they build a 'Monster Zoo', with lions, tigers, bears, kangaroos, monkeys, a buffalo and an elephant. When two small boys come across the zoo, they are so afraid that they call for one of the adults, who brings a gun for protection. While the elephant is somewhat injured by gunshot, the boys realise their mistake, and Joan and Jean's zoo becomes a new tourist attraction.
