Light dampstain to the lower rear jacket edge and lower rear board edge. "When Marlin Perkins was curator of the Buffalo Zoo, he found his funds depleted before he could hire help for the Reptile House and so used volunteer high school students to do the job. The author was one of the volunteers and her experience was obviously a memorable one, because four years of college, a year of social work, a year of teaching General Science in high school, a husband, and five children later she used the experience as a background for this delightful story. Seldom have fact and fiction been blended so successfully in a book for young people. The plot and its characters are all imaginary, but the information about the animals is as accurate as a person steeped in animal lore can make it. Bill and his cousin, Corky, who has a girl's usual squeamishness about snakes, volunteer to devote their summer to working in the Reptile House. Their experiences are exciting and believable - mishaps, of course, but satisfaction as well in a job well done. This is an entertaining story for boys and girls as well as a true adventure in natural science. Four adult "snake fearers" read the manuscript and felt no revulsion - only great interest, and an authentic thrill. Many other animals are met in these pages - from elephants to swans - and, as a matter of fact, the reader need have no particular interest in animals in order to enjoy this suspenseful story." - from the inner front jacket flap.
