Disaster Dad is back, and this time he's heading to the wildlife park with Finn, Emma and their whole class!
Dad has one mission: snap the perfect photo with the new baby giraffe and get it named after him. Easy, right?
Not when Disaster Dad's involved!
Can Finn and Emma keep him out of trouble long enough to meet the giraffe?
Packed with laughs, animal antics and one very determined dad, this is a roaring adventure for readers aged 7+ who love mischief, mayhem, and a whole lot of heart.
Donncha O'Callaghan (Author)
Donncha O'Callaghan is one of Ireland's most recognisable faces in the world of sport, TV and radio. The rugby legend, who played for Munster, Ireland and the Lions, has turned his attention to broadcasting in recent years and become a firm favourite with both listeners and viewers across RTÉ on the 2FM Breakfast Show, Ireland's Fittest Family and The Full Irish Hidden Camera Show. Donncha is also a devoted husband and father-of-four. Disaster Dad: Chicken Chaos is his first book.

Her favourite story is always the one she is creating at the moment. She enjoys hiking and her ambition is to walk the coast of Great Britain (but not all in one go).
