Animal Crackers
Exciting debut mixes humour with reflecting reality of children's lives.
Maisie discovers that with a great number of pets comes an even greater amount of responsibility. And poop-scooping.
In this stunning debut from Ruby Wright, Maisie's enthusiasm and her mum's imagination will capture your heart.
Maisie’s head is full of animal facts! She desperately wants a pet of her own, but Mum says their flat is too small. Luckily, a packet of animal crackers is about to grant Maisie’s wish. But as a whole zoo-full of animals come to stay, there are some unexpected results. (Well… Mum expected them.)
This exciting debut mixes fantasy and wish fulfilment with the reality of modern children's lives.
