Description
Poor Bob is exhausted from scooping endless piles of poo, but when a strange shimmering doo-doo drops from the sky, he's faced with a cosmic conundrum.
For over a decade, the riotous rhymes of Poo in the Zoo have delighted families - and now it's back with a bold new foiled look. Packed with cheeky humour, vibrant illustrations from Ada Grey, and energetic storytelling from Steve Smallman, this rebrand celebrates the book that launched the poop-tastic phenomenon.
A great match for readers who love The Dinosaur That Pooped series by Tom Fletcher, Dougie Poynter and Garry Parsons, The Bush Baby Adventure series by Karl Newson and Duncan Beedie, and other books by Steve Smallman, like Monkey with the Bright Blue Bottom and The Eyebrows of Doom!

Reviews / Votes
This rhyming super-stinker just cries out to be read aloud... Ada Grey's scatological scenes induced howls of delighted laughter from my audience of 5s to 10s, several of whom wanted to paw over the pages for themselves. * Jill R Bennett * This brilliantly anarchic picture story really romps along with its lively illustrations... and pages of rollicking rhyme and rib-tickling escapades. The ideal book to read aloud and get the kids laughing. and joining in the fun. * - Lancashire Evening Post * Packed with humour, romping rhyme and deliciously cheeky wordplay, Poo in the Zoo is a joy to read aloud to children. * - Babyworld * Poo in the Zoo is hilariously funny, and with a rhyming text, you will enjoy reading this out loud to little ones with its cheeky word play. Ada Grey's illustrations are bold, with cute fun characters and she has managed to illustrate all of the different types of poo rather tastefully! * - Bookworm Baby * A marvellous story which will have young ones in fits of laughter all the way. Ada Grey's hilarious illustrations are the perfect match. * - Parents in Touch *More details
