Perfect for fans of The Dinosaur who Pooped Christmas , children will laugh out loud at this gloriously poopy, funny picture book!Steve Smallman has taken up writing his own stories after illustrating children's books for over 30 years. A few years ago I was main illustrator for Longman's 'Story Street' reading scheme, illustrating 79 titles and writing 5. I've been writing children's books for about 6 years and have already had several picture books published with more in development. At times I wondered if this was a zoo, or just a place for animals to run around freely, because there was poo EVERYWHERE. Assuming it came from outer space, Bob puts the dazzling specimen on display and visitors flock to see it.

After chasing two toddlers around the library, there's usually an element of surprise in our take home pile. It would be one thing to talk about animal scat in a way that helps us better understand the creatures themselves.This book is about a man working at a zoo, he is the one who cleans up all the poos, the doo-doos and the icky bleh things that animals drop around. I used to read books aloud to little kids a couple of times per week at library storytime, and I would have read this aloud at least once. I know when I was a little kid I would have 1) loved making an adult read those words aloud and 2) loved exploring all the intricate jars and names. Please note: If using a version of this booklet that contains a pre-written story, both the long 'oo' and short 'oo' are covered. Poo in the Zoo is suitable for children aged 5 plus as the pictures were too busy for 2 year olds as I requested.

If you wanted to take this book further, children could use the rhyme and rhythm as an example to create their own piece.

This is an absolutely hilarious read which will appeal to younger readers because there is poo everywhere in the brightly coloured pages.
