33 fantastic space creatures roam freely through this unique poetry collection Every creature has a place at the far end of Space, in the Universal Zoo. Look out for the Shy Shimmereen, the snoozing Snoralotz, the Invisible Ballaboo Beast and the Ten-Legged, Swivel-Headed, Bushy-Bearded, Twirly-Tailed Horrox. Meet the Martian kids with two heads, and stare at the Enormous Egg. And if you think dragons don' t exist and dodos are extinct, then think again. But never, never, never feed the Gronk! A riot of imagination and fun, these poems also send a message about conservation and saving species.
