Summary

Meet Bella and George.

They’re a happy couple who spend their days dusting, eating strawberry ice cream and making model aeroplanes. Until a brown-paper parcel arrives at their door and disrupts EVERYTHING. It’s a human baby, named Zagazoo

George and Bella are delighted but Zagazoo doesn’t remain a lovely human baby for long…

A celebration of parenting, Zagazoo is a timeless story of family life.

Soon to be featured in the BBC animated special, Quentin Blake’s Box of Treasures.
