More logic grid puzzles!

Details

A logic grid puzzle consists of a scenario where you are trying to match some number of disjoint sets based off of a set of logical statements. To accomplish this, you will fill in a grid built from these disjoint sets. For any given block of the grid, each row and each column can only have one positive answer (which we typically represent with an 'o'). Your goal is to fill out the grid, such that each block has one 'o' in each row and column. Consider the following Scenario:

Three boys (Jake, Anthony and Carlos) and two girls (Abigail and Paige) went on a trip to the zoo. All five kids have five different favorite animals that they want to see: monkeys, alligators, bears, lions, and giraffes. Each of the five children ate one of the five different things as a snack: popcorn, chips, pretzel, nachos with chips and cheese, or crackers. Each child bought one souvenir: a stuffed rabbit, a lion t-shirt, a key chain, a plastic snake, or a stuffed monkey. Figure out from the clues below which child likes which animal, who ate what for snack, and who bought what for a souvenir.

This exercise is a slightly modified version of the logic puzzle found on the Braingle webpage at: http://www.braingle.com/brainteasers/22588/a-day-at-the-zoo.html.
