About this title

Review:

Quentin Blake celebrates 30 years as a writer and artist with this zany picture book about a very unusual baby. As Zagazoo grows he goes through a number of bizarre changes--one day he's a vulture, the next an elephant, then a warthog. His poor parents, George and Bella, find it impossible to keep up with all his changes until, one day, something miraculous occurs. Accompanied by Quentin Blake's typically hilarious illustrations this book is a delight for children, but will also be thoroughly enjoyed by all parents. -- Philippa Reece
