Poo in the Zoo by Steve Smallman
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!

Steve Smallman (Author) Steve Smallman worked as a children's book illustrator for 20 years before he decided to 'have a go' at writing his own. Now, over 100 books later, he's still at it! He visits schools, libraries and festivals, and paints murals too! When he's not working, he enjoys holidays, watching TV, gardening and juggling grandchildren. Ada Grey (Illustrator) Ada has been doodling since she was five and always knew she wanted to be an illustrator. She has drawn everything from babies to queens, dinosaurs to unicorns and lots and lots of poo! Ada lives at the top of a steep hill in Brighton and likes growing flowers in her garden that her ginger tom digs up.
