Julia Jarman-acclaimed British author of more than five-dozen books-has delighted children and their parents with her imaginative and stimulating stories. As they arrive at the zoo, Class Two squeals with delight. Soon the children are roaring like lions, trumpeting like elephants, and howling like wolves. But while the chattering monkeys entertain them and the graceful giraffes amaze them, they don't notice the hungry creature who escapes. "This is an amusing, light hearted, and colourful story . A thoroughly enjoyable read."-Writeaway (UK)

"I checked out the version with book & audio at the library. Carmen got into turning the page when it chimed! The story was so cute I took it to school & read it to my kindergarten classes. Carmen enjoyed the messy kids at the end, "Eww! Yucky!" "

— Merrilee, 8/31/2013" Oh man, we got this book out of the library and I so want to buy it! Class two go to the zoo and get eaten by an anaconda. Ruth just loved it and wanted it read over and over and over and... It rhymes too so big thumbs up for this one! "
— Jacqui, 4/29/2013" Funny story about a field trip to the zoo. Well, probably funny. A big snake eats about half the class, so if you have sensitive child, or one that is already afraid of snakes, this is not a good pick. Otherwise, its fun because the kids are saved and there is nice word play. "

— Danielle, 2/15/2010" Funny, rhyming story about a class being stalked by an anaconda at the zoo. Not sure that I like that it shows a snake escaping his pen and terrorizing a class, but it is funny. Probably not good for kids who are easily scared. "
