Dr. Dolittle's Zoo

Doctor Dolittle's Zoo is an animal home, not a prison, and the animals come and go as they please. But a visitor to the Rat and Mouse Club reveals a mystery at nearby Moorsden Manor, which Tommy Stubbins and the animals are determined to solve.

Reviews

John Agard is a very exciting poet

—— TES

A fast-moving and totally absorbing adventure story

—— Books for Keeps

The drawing together of two children has hardly been done better since The Secret Garden

—— Growing Point

He's funny, clever, nimble and moving. Above all, his poetic generosity refuses to consider serious subjects as out of bounds just because he's writing for a young audience.
