It's Christmas Eve, and Santa Claus is on his way to Bob McGrew's zoo when one of the reindeer become sick and can't pull the sleigh. Is there anyone at the zoo who can help save Christmas?

It's Christmas Eve, and zookeeper Bob McGrew and his animals are excited to see Santa Claus heading right for their zoo! Poop collector Hector Gloop joins them in the hopes of catching some flying reindeer poop. But one of the reindeer is sick and can't pull the sleigh--and now Santa can't fly! Is there anyone at the zoo who can help save Christmas?
Steve Smallman has taken up writing his own stories after illustrating children's books for more than 30 years. He also teaches illustration and mural-painting workshops in schools. When he's not working, Steve enjoys films, television, gardening, and walking in the countryside.

Ada Grey spent several years working for design companies before deciding that she preferred doodling. She lives in Brighton with her daughter and cat, Ming the Merciless. She collects picture books, draws in her studio (which is very messy), and loves cheese and spaghetti, especially together.
One of the most eccentric and unusual takes on Santas Claus and Christmas, Poo in the Zoo: Merry Poop-Mas! is a fun picture book read from start to finish for children ages 3-7. With its rhyming storytelling style by Steve Smallman and utterly charming illustrations by Ada Greg, Poo in the Zoo: Merry Poop-Mas! will prove a popular pick for family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library holiday season picture book collections and reading lists. --Midwest Book Review--Children's Bookwatch
