Hullabaloo at the Zoo

Usborne Phonics Readers

by Zanna Davidson, Alison Friend (Illustrator)

A laughing giraffe surprises some bears who shock the crocs... and all too soon there's a rapping zebra and a waltzing rhino, all causing a hullabaloo at the zoo. It takes Baboon playing his bassoon to restore calm, in a story that will resonate with many parents and carers attempting bedtime with young children. A lively, fast-paced picture book packed full of animal chaos, with humorous rhyming text and catchy refrain by best-selling author Zanna Davidson. With delightful illustrations by Alison Friend. Zoo animals are continuously popular.
