You’ve never encountered a book about animals like A Very Strange Zoo before. 

What if your creative STEAM inventions, your diy kids projects, were brought to life?

On a little island in a big ocean, lives a young inventor creating all kinds of weird and wonderful things. Maybe you’ve heard of his bucket with legs that can follow you around? Or his slippery dip that only slides up?

Inventing can be noisy, and this poor inventor discovered not everyone likes the crashing and banging of creating. Alone and lonely, he decides to use the rubbish washed up on the beach to build his own animal friends for company.

But they were lifeless and he was still lonely. Until a magical bolt of lightning brought very unexpected life back to the island.

Imagination, invention, companionship and magic all come together in this beautiful illustrated children’s picture book by award-winning author, Chris Stead.
