Book description
Head keeper Ken is world-famous for never turning a difficult animal
away. Ken's zoo gives a 'last chance', offering a home to all those
animals whose misbehaviour or strange habits have led to their exclusion
from other zoos and animal parks. But Ken and his wife (who has an
uncanny resemblance to the queen) adore animals, and have collected a
team of keepers who share their passion and their unusual approach to
animal care.
However naughty or difficult an animal, Ken's zoo will always give them
a second chance and plenty of care and understanding. Remaining forever
calm, Ken is infinitely resourceful with his network of world-wide
contacts - and always thrives on a crisis. With escaping tarantula
spiders, tantrum-throwing elephants, rude parrots revealing keepers'
secrets, spitting camels, picnic-stealing bears, the story gallops with
great pace and humour from story to story, and ends with a surprise
visit from the queen herself.
