Other editions of book Zagazoo

A little creature, pretty as can be, arrives one day at George and Bella's happy home. Its name is Zagazoo. The Zagazoo is, truth be told, not perfect, yet his little smile brings the couple joy. But Zagazoo never stays the same for long. In time, the little darling becomes a screeching vulture (whose cries are especially piercing at night), then an accident-prone elephant, and later a mud-loving warthog. On it goes, until, finally, Zagazoo is transformed into the most surprising creature of all!! Renowned for his exceptional picture books, Quentin Blake offers his own zany take on the stages of childhood in this story that all Zagazoos, current and former, will relish. Quentin Blake is one of the most popular children's book illustrators of our time.

George and Bella are delighted when they receive an adorable Zagazoo. But as time goes by they find the Zagazoo changes, from a sweet baby, to a screeching vulture, a clumsy elephant, and even a fire-breathing dragon. Just when they reach their wits end, he becomes a wonderful, polite young man. But nothing stays the same for long in this clever tale about the joys and hazards of child-rearing.
