Illustrated by
Colin Jack.
A boy slips into the zoo before opening hours only to find that when a fox snatches the zookeeper's keys and releases all the caged animals, chaos ensues. The silly narrative serves as a platform for a counting book from one to ten, with zebras, beavers, and elephants included in the menagerie. Exaggerated digital illustrations have a lot of verve.
