A wonderful counting book from Judith Kerr, the best-selling author of the Mog series and The Tiger Who Came to Tea

"One moonlit, magical night in the zoo
An elephant jumped in the air and flew.
But nobody knew."

It's only once all the visitors have gone home that the real fun starts in the Zoo! Follow all the animals throughout the night in this gorgeous picture book and find out what mischief they get into.
