Zagazoo: Part of the BBC’s Quentin Blake’s Box of Treasures : Blake, Quentin, Blake, Quentin: desertcart.co.uk: Books Review: Perfect for parents of a boy! - This is a lovely story, written and beautifully illustrated by Quentin Blake. My son brought it home from school when he was 5 or 6 and I used to read it to him at bedtime. It is really only as he got older that I fully appreciated everything about this book. I think a lot of parents with boys might find they have a Zagazoo on their hands! It is so well-observed. It has really stayed with us over the years - we still look at each other from time to time and say our boy is being a bit Zagazoo! He's 16 now and thankfully showing signs of turning into the nice young man with perfect manners! Highly recommended by this old pelican! Review: Good story with good illustrations - Another good book from Quentin Blake bought to read to grandchildren and my daughters appreciate the story meaning too.

Love this book
This is such a funny book. Children and grownups love it. I always buy it for new babies, it gives their parents a warning of what is to come

Good for parents and teenagers too !
I read this book to my 12 and 15 year olds following a challenging week with my older teenager. It was a good and light hearted read and received a positive response. It was a good 'opener ' to a conversation about emotions and feelings during these difficult times and helped us all ( adults and kids) to appreciate and accept issues faced by both kids and parents alike. Several weeks on and we still refer to the animals behaviour in the book to the different stages of child development and how a teenager can experience all stages in one weekend! ! I highly recommend but choose your moment as it is really aimed for young kids .

Very good about a boy. Now we need a similar version about a girl...

An amazingly succinct view of the cycle of life.
This is a book of beauty. When my boys were little and I would read to them, they found it amusing that I would always fail to get to the end of it because I was in tears. It's a succinct and sensitive and beautiful thing. Amazing job from Quentin Blake!

Love Quentin Blake. Bought the book for my teenage daughter for a bit of a giggle, given the subject matter of the story. She liked it.

einfach wunderbar als Geschenk für frisch gebackenen Eltern.

Completely delightful, in a somewhat Kafka-esque sort of way. Anyone with children will immediately relate. I have bought it for many friends with new babies. My 2-year-old son also really likes it, though in some ways it seems more for parents than for children.

Great book for kids and adults
