A hilarious rhyming story with plenty of phonic repetition for beginner readers.
Have you ever wondered what happens in the zoo at night Well, the answer, in this zoo anyway, is that all the animals create a hullabaloo - playing music, dancing, singing and generally having a noisy good time. Zanna Davidson's rompingly rhythmic story, with lots of phonic repetition, is a joy to read aloud and to listen to.
Zanna writes fiction and non-fiction for Usborne. Her favourite things to write about are small monsters and talking animals. She used to live in London but now lives in a cottage on the edge of some woods. She is only sorry there are no bears or witches in them. Alison Friend was on vacation one year, making jams and chutneys with her husband, when they discovered a recipe for "Figgy Mustardo." The chutney was good, but Alison thought the name was better suited for a feisty little dog. That's how Figgy came to be! Alison is also the author and illustrator of Freddy & Frito and the Clubhouse Rules, which Kirkus Reviews called "a playful, lighthearted lesson about peacekeeping and place-keeping." She lives with her family in the Lake District in England.
