Zoo Keeper Bob is exhausted. There’s too much poo in the zoo – and he’s the one who has to scoop it up. Then one day, a mysterious glowing poo appears! Could it be alien poop from outer space? And what on EARTH will Bob do with it?

The picture book has become a modern classic, and this new board book version introduces all the laugh-out-loud poopy mayhem to a younger audience. It is packed with humour, romping rhyme from the inimitable Steve Smallman (The Lamb Who Came for Dinner, The Eyebrows of Doom and The Monkey With the Bright Blue Bottom), and bright, lively illustrations from Ada Grey.

A joy to read aloud and perfect for fans of The Dinosaur Who Pooped a Rainbow by Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter, little hands will love turning the pages of this cheeky board book.
