It has been two years since Lynley Dodd published a new book and young fans will be surprised to find neither cats nor dogs in her latest title. Instead, there is a menagerie of very unusual animals indeed.
Everyone knows the story of Noah's Ark. But what about the creatures at the end of the queue when the Ark was full? Here, at last, is the story of the other ark.
When Noah's ark is full he calls on a friend to help out with the left-over animals. There are hip-hopping hippos, candy-striped camels, mad kangaroosters and butternut bears. Dodd's flamboyant, rhythmic text is, as always, a joy to read.
