What is The Dead Zoo about?
Mr Gray runs a very old museum packed with stuffed animals, and he prefers them to living visitors. But when a small mouse sneaks into the Dead Zoo, his quiet, orderly world is turned upside down. Determined to evict her, Mr Gray soon discovers that the lively little creature may be more useful than he expected. When trouble strikes, the unlikely pair must work together, and Mr Gray begins to see that real friendship might be better than a museum full of silent animals.
