Class Two at the Zoo (Class One, Two & Three) - Tapa dura

An exuberant romp. Lots of fun (School Librarian)

A cautionary tale, it bounces along, begging to be read aloud ... the illustrations add hugely to the fun, with pictures an text superbly integrated on each spread, creating a perfect balance ... A must have for every Class 2! (Books For Keeps)

Wonderfully funny ... with fantastic illustrations (Bournemouth Echo)

The anaconda in this meaty tale could possibly do with a makeover in the predictable behaviour department. Not that I'd change the story one jot. There is something immensely satisfying about a snake full of children. (The Bookseller Crow)

A visit to the zoo turns suddenly perilous for a rambunctious class in this bouncy cautionary tale... Just the ticket for reading prior to a class trip. (Kirkus Reviews)

As a class of wide-eyed day-trippers make their way round the zoo, they fail to notice the slimy snake slithering ominously in the background. Suddenly he pounces, and devours one unsuspecting child after another. With animated illustrations, especially the snake's bulging belly as his 'dinner' wriggles inside him, there's a rising sense of suspense before the snake relinquishes his captives and slinks off to slighter another day... (Junior)

A wonderfully funny picture book that follows Class Two on a trip round the zoo. They see all sorts of animal antics, but they don't notice the anaconda slipping up behind that's determined to make a meal of them. But Class Two are a resourceful bunch and come up with a rescue plan.
