Zagazoo

Meet Bella and George.

They’re a happy couple who spend their days dusting, eating strawberry ice cream and making model aeroplanes. Until a brown-paper parcel arrives at their door and disrupts EVERYTHING. It’s a human baby, named Zagazoo

George and Bella are delighted but Zagazoo doesn’t remain a lovely human baby for long…

A celebration of parenting, Zagazoo is a timeless story of family life.

Soon to be featured in the BBC animated special, Quentin Blake’s Box of Treasures.

"I've never met a child who doesn't love Quentin Blake" - Daily Telegraph

Reviews

As always, Cooper presents a blend of glorious colour and an imaginative text with lots of long, interesting words and repetition . . . Highly recommended

—— The School Librarian

Lose yourself in the illustration, laugh out loud at the antics of the friends, learn some important lessons and create a beautifully pink soup, but most of all enjoy this wonderful story book

—— writeaway.org.uk

Superbly detailed, richly coloured illustrations and a dash of humour - are as delicious as ever (there's even a recipe for the delicious beetroot soup Duck missed out on). It's well worth sampling the delights of this picture book and if you've not yet tasted the others - Pumpkin Soup and A Pipkin of Pepper - try them too

—— Jill Bennett , www.wordpool.co.uk

Exquisitely detailed and rich illustrations make this a joy to read

—— Child Education

A heart-warming children's fable for fussy eaters and their exasperated parents . . . Delicious is an enchanting book full of detailed, colourful illustration and humour

—— Beth Wicks , Organic Life

This delightful, funny and, in its way, touching book, again demonstrates Mini Grey's facility for looking at things from a different angle

—— Carousel

An absolutely delightful debut

—— Kirkus Reviews Starred Review

A witty confection of highly colourful characters

—— The Horn Book

A delightful pick for sharp readers enamoured of gothic sensibilities and clever prose

—— Shelf Awareness Starred Review

This witty, imaginative entry deserves a prominent space on the MG shelf.
