Moon Zoo

Moon Zoo

by Carol Ann Duffy (Author), JoelStewart (Illustrator)

Synopsis

`Hippos wallow in the moon's deep craters,

Bobbing with the rhinos and the alligators.'

The moon tiger scratches at shooting stars, polar bears float down from their mountain for starfish and chips, and the zookeeper, of course, is an alien. Carol Ann Duffy's lyrical, humorous verse illuminates an entrancing world that is both familiar and strange. This is a very special book.
