Do Not Enter the Monster Zoo

Sparkes’ addictive rhyming text is brought to bright and colourful life by Ogilvie’s bold and painterly illustrations – Pam Norfolk * The Blackpool Gazette *This story certainly went down well with several groups of under fives who loved the tongue tingling rhyming text and crazy mock scary monsters – Jill Bennett * Red Reading Hub *Amy Sparkes’ text is a lovely rhythmic verse that is sharp and to the point. The story could inspire some creative monster-designing, and the ‘stand up and assert yourself’ message is a nice surprise. The illustrations provided by the consistently brilliant Sara Ogilvie are great fun and each strange monster is beautifully imagined. Colours are loud and page space is used inventively. It’s a pretty perfect picture book and will be adored by little monsters and their keepers. * Books for Keeps *Riotous rhyming fun from the illustrator of Dogs Don’t Do Ballet, with an inspiring message about overcoming challenges – Fiona Noble * The Bookseller *
