(3) K-3 Poor little rich boy Walter Rothschild was more comfortable studying animals than engaging with people. This picture book biography describes how, as an adult, he was able to use his enormous wealth to build his own museum and fund many scientific expeditions, making a significant contribution to the study of zoology. Dynamic watercolors showing young Rothschild's menagerie add humor to the story. Websites. Bib.
