After a young girl tells the zookeepers to send the animals to her house should anything go wrong at the zoo, a series of zoo emergencies results in some unusual houseguests for the girl and her family.

Slow Loris was a slow loris, or so everyone believed, until one night when the other animals in the zoo see him doing something unusual. In the zoo, where Slow Loris lives, he's just, well, slow, boring. It takes him ten minutes to eat a Satsuma and an hour to scratch his bottom. Hardly the most exciting sight at the zoo. But Loris doesn't care. He has a secret--at night, when the rest of the zoo is sleeping.

"It's Halloween at the zoo, and it's time for the animals to show off their costumes! But who will win the grand prize for best dressed? The night is full of fun and surprises!"-- Front jacket flap.

Teddy Fitzroy must solve the crime of the kidnapped rare and expensive panda, Li Ping.

Rhyming text and heart-shaped illustrations of zoo animals introduce a range of emotions from "snappy as a crab" to "peaceful as a portly walrus lounging on a towel."

Bob McGrew, the head keeper at the zoo, loves his job--except when he has to clean up after the animals! One day, after escaping his cage, the iguana leaves behind something that catches the attention of the entire town--and a poo museum owner--that ends up making Bob's messy job a lot easier!

On a sleepy Sunday at the zoo, all the animals suddenly begin to sneeze.

Joining the new baby animals at the zoo are the much-loved pengaroo and the pandacat.

"Sally tries to tell her family that a hippo, a tiger, zebras, and koalas are in their yard, but no one pays attention until they hear that the zoo animals have escaped; now everyone panics except for Sally!"-- Provided by publisher.
