*** ‘With rhymes just as whimsical as Dr. Seuss.’ – The Booklover Bookshop***

The cockerel crowed across Pettington Zoo.
The animals woke with a big job to do.
‘The Harry is coming! Today is the day!
We have to get ready! There’s no time to play!’

It’s Harry’s birthday and the all the animals at Pettington Zoo are planning a big surprise. It’s time to get ready to party!

Written by comedian Sam Smith and illustrated by Daron Parton, this is a heartwarming and hilarious book so full of laughs that you may just be crying by the end.

They say you can't judge a book by its cover, but sometimes a cover speaks volumes, as this one does. From the title, to jacket illustrations, a reader can expect a myriad cast of native and exotic animals heading for a party at a zoo. And you certainly won't be disappointed.

My 3 year old loves this! Not quite sure why he finds the idea of a snake with cake so funny, it definitely hit the right note.
