Katie's Zoo is the sixth in the "Katie"-series, following the bestselling success of Katie's Coo, Katie's Moose, Katie's Ferm, Katie's Beasties and Katie's Year.
In this new book, Katie spends a day at the zoo, meeting some of the bonnie, braw animals and birds that stay there, among them the tiger 'in his strippit coat', the koalas with 'hairy lugs', and an array of bright and beautiful birds and reptiles. But Katie's favourite animals are kept till last...
Who could that be bringing up the rear of the penguin parade? Each "Katie" book is slightly different, and in this one the story is told in short, easy sentences containing simple Scots words. Katie is as cheery and inquisitive as ever, and there are lots of things to look at and point to in Karen Sutherland's wonderful illustrations. Katie's Zoo should prove just as popular as its predecessors.
Where's Katie's moose?

Runnin roon the hoose.
Where's Katie's bear?
There it is noo.
Keek-a-boo!

Katie's Moose is the follow-up publication to the best-selling Kaite's Coo: Traditional Scots Rhymes For Wee Folk. Babies and young children will love the simple story of Katie gathering up her animal friends in time for bed.
Each page shows Katie looking for the Dug, the Pig, the Bear, the Craw, the Coo and of course the wee Moose. Sometimes they're not that easy to find - until you lift the flap. And sometimes they're in quite surprising places! These simple Scots words and sounds, together with Karen Sutherland's bright and cherry illustrations, will make this board book a favourite with bairns and parents alike - especially at bedtime!
