It’s a road book, it’s an adventure, it’s folklore. It’s a quest for freedom!
To this day the story of their great escape is told, passed down through the generations of animals, from cage to cage, from zoo to zoo. And though over time many versions of the story have arisen, some wildly exaggerated, others plainly false, you will find no truer account than those extraordinary events that surround The Great Escape from City Zoo.
So ends this adventure about an elephant, a flamingo, a turtle and an anteater that dared to do what no other had done — break out of City Zoo. In this tale of daring, these animals take their future into their own hands to taste the fruits of life.
This unlikely band of escapees hit the road for an adventure hotly pursued by their zookeepers.
