Read about the newest award to be added to the An Post Irish Book Awards
Mr Gray needs something spectacular to show for the grand reopening of his museum.
So, when he receives a call about a ‘very old thing’ that has been discovered in a local garden, he’s keen to investigate.
What he finds there is a GINORMOUS bone. Then another, and another …
Could the bones be from an elephant? A rhinoceros? Or even a hippopotamus?
Can Mr Gray solve the puzzle in time for the Dead Zoo’s grand reopening?
Peter Donnelly is an award-winning author/illustrator based in Co. Wicklow. His debut picture book, The President’s Glasses, was a No. 1 bestseller and The President’s Cat and The President’s Dog both won the An Post Children’s Book of the Year in 2018 and 2023. The Dead Zoo has delighted thousands of children and this book marks the much-anticipated return of its central character, Mr Gray.
