A fascinating and realistic collage picture book introducing the bustling, caring world of an urban animal shelter. Illustrated in an eye-catching collage of real photographic material and bright drawings, this delightful book tells the story of a real-life day at an animal shelter. From arriving with the staff and giving the cats their breakfast, to settling the animals down for the night, Patricia Casey gives us a unique glimpse into the lives and stories of many pets and strays. Meet the gecko who was found in a lady's suitcase when she returned from her holiday in Spain, and help Patricia and Neil to capture a deer sleeping in a graveyard and take it back to the woods where it belongs! As Patricia says, Wood Green Animal Shelter is "always busy, Happy, sad and funny things happen every minute"!
