Animal Crackers
In this stunning debut from Ruby Wright, Maisie's enthusiasm and her mum's imagination will capture your heart.
Maisie’s head is full of animal facts! She desperately wants a pet of her own, but Mum says their flat is too small. Luckily a packet of animal crackers is about to grant Maisie’s wish. But as a whole zoo-full of animals come to stay there are some unexpected results. (Well… Mum expected them.) This exciting debut mixes fantasy and wish fulfilment with the reality of modern children's lives.
Ruby studied sculpture, which informs her distinctive illustration style but doesn’t explain why she plays the musical saw. She lives in a flat with her Mr, two very funny children and absolutely no pets. Animal Crackers is her debut book. Location: London, UK.
