If you can remember the 1980s and the No 1 hit ‘Footloose’, then you won’t be able to resist this book. The lyrics for this catchy, toe-tapping song have been rewritten so that the children can bop, shake and rattle with all the animals in the zoo. Just turn the pages and sing along with Jack, the zookeeper; the leaping llamas; Louise, the rockin’ chimpanzee; Milo the wombat; and Luke, the ‘funkiest cat in the zoo’. Then slip on your dancing shoes and cut loose! Footloose!

Every page in this crazy book is full of fantastically happy animals, all rocking to this irresistibly happy music. So grab the CD in the back of the book and start a party.
