Oh no! The zoo is going to close! And all of the animals will be sent back to where they came from.

Lin the Bad Panda is happy about the idea of being returned to the panda sanctuary from where she came. She can't wait to be reunited with her beloved brother, Face-Like-A-Bag-Of-Potatoes.

But Lin is definitely NOT happy about being separated from her new-found zoo family. Surely all the animals should be kept together?

This is a job for the baddest of pandas! Lin will need rage and bad behaviour. Only then will she be able to keep her zoo family in one place.

The final instalment in this laugh-yourself-silly series - perfect for emerging readers.
