Zoo Buddies The Chimps Surprise Party by Joanne Morgan is the most delightful book for the under-fives. It is beautifully illustrated by Angelika Scudamore who has put so much detail into each page – including a small caterpillar called Clive who is hiding on every page. I just could not turn over until I had found him! All the zoo buddies are colorful with friendly faces drawing the reader in. Each page is there to be savoured.The story is simple and easily understood – planning a surprise party means all the animals must work together to ensure success. I absolutely loved the zoo buddies and am glad to see it is the first in a new series. Every nursery and home with young children should have a copy, not just because it is beautiful but because it could entertain for hours. I think zoo buddies would easily translate into a
cartoon or C.G.I., complete with merchandise. Imagine if your little one could take a cuddly zoo buddy to bed. I received a free copy from the publishers. A favorable review was not required. All opinions are my own by Julia Wilson.
