This paperback edition of a popular story tells of Gerald McGrew’s grand designs for running his own zoo, packed with weird and wonderful creatures such as the incredible Thwerll, whole legs are snarled up in a terrible snerl, or the family of Joats, whose feet are like cows’ but wear squirrel-skin coats!

Theodor Seuss Geisel – better known to millions of his fans as Dr. Seuss – was born the son of a park superintendent in Springfield, Massachusetts, in 1904. After studying at Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and later at Oxford University in England, he became a magazine humorist and cartoonist, and an advertising man. He soon turned his many talents to writing children’s books, and his first book – And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street – was published in 1937. His greatest claim to fame was the one and only The Cat in the Hat, published in 1957, the first of a hugely successful range of early learning books known as Beginner Books.
Welcome to the wacky world of Gerald McGrew, who has some amazing ideas for perking up his local zoo! In a riot of rhythm, and tongue-twisting rhyme, he describes how he's let all the animals go and start over again, creating a madcap menagerie of weird and wonderful beasts gathered from every corner of the globe.
Fast-paced and wildly imaginative, this story is packed with all the essential ingredients that have made Dr. Seuss so well-loved by generations of children – this is vintage Seuss at its very best!
