Take another trip down Zoo Avenue and help solve a silly mystery for the citizens of Zoo City!
Meet Chief “Roast Beef” McGee and his sons, Tommy “Salami” and Tony “Baloney,” a funny family of Bulldog-Chimpanzees trying to track down The Great Shoelace Thief!
Join a parade led by the Rhino-Horse Marching Band, and duck as Mayor Hoover the Wolf-Owl swoops overhead!
Follow the clues with Tommy and Tony, but don’t crash into Pearl the Dragonfly-Squirrel or the grazing pack of Bat-Yaks standing in the way!
Is the Weasel-Raccoon really guilty? And who would want to steal everyone's shoelaces anyway?
You're invited to a sleepover at the most luxurious mansion on Zoo Avenue!
Kit's parents, the Fabulous Fox-Rats, are rich and famous movie stars, and Kit is so excited to show her best friends around their amazing home.
Ruby the Ladybug-Frog, Camille the Butterfly-Seal, and Eloise the Elephant-Bee can't believe how lucky Kit is. After all, she has her very own swimming pool, hair salon, bowling alley, arcade, movie theater, and much more!
In fact, the Fox-Rats are so wealthy, even their maid has a maid!
With Priscilla the Eagle-Gorilla as their babysitter for the night, the girls have so much fun until a silly problem suddenly POPS up!
Can they all work together to clean up the mess?
Can Mr. Graham the Gopher-Ram drive them through the crazy Zoo Avenue traffic in time to save the big movie premier?
And can Kit's friends somehow help her realize the real reason that she is the luckiest girl in all of Zoo City?
Welome to Zoo Avenue! This colorful first book in the Zoo Avenue series invites you on an awesome field trip with Ms. Bella the Elephant-Bee and all of her students from Room 103.
You'll ride the bus down Zoo Avenue with the bus driver, Mr. McGraff the Moose-Giraffe. Just watch out for the Fish-Lion construction crew!
And at the town's amazing Ice Cream Factory, you'll take a tour with Petey the Pig-Penguin, who shows the delighted kids all sorts of delicious treats, wacky contraptions, and even more mixed-up animal friends.
But even this fun factory can be a dangerous place. So when the class klutz, Joey the Kangaroo-Calf, causes one accident too many, it is up to the beloved Ms. Bella to swoop in and save the day!
Oooh, I love bananas! I'll even eat three!
Because I'm part bulldog and part chimpanzee!
Tommy "Salami" McGee
Now everyone slide down the Waffle Cone Slide
to the Marshmallow Trolley! Let's go for a ride!
Petey the Pig-Penguin
Shoes flew right off with no laces to tie them!
Everyone ducked, watching boots fly right by them!
Mayor Hoover the Wolf-Owl
That guy didn't do it!
I give you my word!
Priscilla the Eagle-Gorilla
May Ruby sleep over, Mom? Prettiest please?
But if I ask her, I must ask Eloise!
Kit the Fox-Rat
Let's eat some dinner, but don't dilly-dally!
So I can show you the Boat Bowling Alley!
Captain Sally the Gull-Dolphin
No kangaroo-hopping or bopping your feet...
I promise you all that you're in for a treat!
Ms. Bella the Elephant-Bee
Please stay in your seats
and don't eat, jump or laugh!
Mr. McGraff the Moose-Giraffe
I saw it drive right through that pack of Bat-Yaks!
Look there! It's a pair of his black tire tracks!
Pearl the Dragonfly-Squirrel
Lucky for you, my Zoo Avenue Shammy
swept up this ticket for South Beach Miami!
Sammy the Clam-Duck
But Darling-My-Dear, here is one thing I fear:
No grown-ups except for the maids will be here!
Fiona the Fox-Rat
This place is amazing! I love it a lot!
I'm jealous of all the cool stuff that you've got!
Eloise the Elephant-Bee, Camille the Butterfly-Seal, & Ruby the Ladybug-Frog
