Synopsis
If you're one of a kind, you're one of the Zoo Crew!
Ryley loves his life at his family's sanctuary for unusual animals. Who else gets to look after toothless piranhas, green flamingos or kangaroos who can't hop? From Cosmo the hyperactive sloth to Princess the sun-loving aardvark, life is never dull when you're part of the zoo crew!
But when some ring-tailed lemurs join the gang, it's not long before there's a fierce feud between them and the coatis - the sanctuary's most mischievous residents. When the rivalry goes one step too far and Ryley finds the lemurs missing, it's all hands on deck for Operation Lemurs on the Loose!
The first book in a funny and heartwarming new series for all young animal fans, from award-winning author-illustrator Clare Elsom
