Achille LeBlab, special correspondent, knocks at Zanzibar's door. He wants to write an article about an exceptional character. Is Zanzibar exceptional?

The lizard seems to doubt it. "Aside from your poetic name, I'm afraid you're a very ordinary crow."

That night Zanzibar decides: "I haven't done anything remarkable yet, but it's never too late!" He comes up with an idea for an incredible feat. First he must find a camel...

" Zanzibar feels like a cross between Gecko Press favourites Yours Sincerely, Giraffe and Bruno -it has character, wonderfully dry humour and a unique charm." Julia Marshall, Publisher

About the Author
Catharina Valckx was born in 1957 in De Bilt, Netherlands. She grew up in France with four sisters. She traveled back and forth between the two countries before settling down in Amsterdam. She started writing for children books after the birth of her son. Her books are like guides for a happy life. She believes (and has observed) that children are already sensitive to an absurd kind of humour at a very young age, the kind of humour that makes you smile not laugh, a comforting kind of humour.
