You’ve never encountered a book about animals like A Very Strange Zoo before.

What if your creative STEAM inventions, your diy kids projects, were brought to life?

On a little island in a big ocean, lives a young inventor creating all kinds of weird and wonderful things. Maybe you’ve heard of his bucket with legs that can follow you around? Or his slippery dip that only slides up?

Inventing can be noisy, and this poor inventor discovered not everyone likes the crashing and banging of creating. Alone and lonely, he decides to use the rubbish washed up on the beach to build his own animal friends for company.

But they were lifeless and he was still lonely. Until a magical bolt of lightning brought very unexpected life back to the island.

Imagination, invention, companionship and magic all come together in this beautiful illustrated children’s picture book by award-winning author, Chris Stead.

" An ideal book for parent's to read to their children as a bedtime story."

Reviewer: .


An strange inventor lives all a lonely life by himself on an island. The rest of the island has left because of all the noises he made while inventing. One day, he finds a book washed up on the beach describing a zoo and he resolves to make the animals from the bits of scrap that have washed ashore. But having made them, they are still inanimate objects, and the inventor is still lonely. But that night, lightning strikes the house, bringing his animals to life.

This is an enjoyable short children's story that would be ideal for anyone of a young age, certainly as a bedtime read. The story is good fun and the characters are simple enough to understand. The younger readers will more than likely enjoy making the loud noises along with the story. The story is beautifully pictures with pencil illustrations, each of which neatly enhances the story ideological it. I didn't see any spelling or grammar errors, although this will not matter to younger readers.

Overall, it's an ideal book for parent's to read to their children as a bedtime story.
