What is The beauty contest at the zoo about?

Before the zoo opens, Maisie has a brilliant idea: the animals should hold a beauty contest. Soon, the zoo is full of excitement as each creature shows off its own special features, from colourful feathers and splendid fur to enormous ears and dazzling smiles. But beauty is not just about appearance, and every animal has something wonderful to offer. As Maisie listens to their persuasive pleas, she must decide who deserves the prize in this lively, funny rhyming story.
