1. Who is the first person narrator of "A Day at the Zoo"?

From Quiz Magic At The Zoo

Answer: Each of them narrates a section.

"Zoo Day" is a verbal triptych, told in turn from the viewpoint of Harry Dresden, his ten-year-old daughter Maggie and their Foo dog (or temple dog), a furry, gray mountain of love named Mouse. As the family enters the zoo, each member realizes that all is not well, though each senses different causes for their unease. Interestingly, Harry's perceptions are the narrowest. It is only when they turn towards the gorilla house, after being entertained by a great show put on by the animals (that Harry suspects and Maggie knows has been arranged by Mouse), that he feels "a series of flickering sensations against my forehead, that reminded me of a moth fluttering against a lit wall, constant and random flutters somehow conveying confusion frustration and fear." Magic is in the air, so strong that a few zoo patrons have discovered that their electronic devices have stopped working. Harry has the professional and moral obligation to investigate and help if he can. Maggie can sense what Harry does, but her awareness of something wrong had started even before they entered the zoo proper, with the baggler-ridden couple on the sidewalk. She also recognized the pack of haunts that Harry took for ordinary children, and knew they had singled her out as prey. but Mouse alone has the full picture and, though his humans don't know it, Mouse saves the day.

Answer: The gorillas

While they are walking into the zoo, Maggie confides that she particularly wants to see the gorillas, and that Mouse does too. Mouse confirms this by wagging his tail and giving Harry a doggy grin. A moment later Maggie's interest is explained when she asks her father if it is true that he once saved gorillas from a monster. The incident in question was rather more complicated than that, but, seeing no need to burden his daughter with the details, he agrees affably. On the way to see the gorillas, the family stops at other exhibits. Mouse talks to all the animals, and they are generally cooperative. The otters are the most enthusiastic. The bears are agreeable.
