Author:Quentin Blake
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
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 LibrarianLose 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.ukSuperbly 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).
