The zoo send a series of unsuitable pets, revealed behind flaps in the form of crates and packing cases. In 1980 he became involved in children's publishing where he began designing innovative books with interactive elements and repetitive phrases.

And I couldn't say no to the animal charity where I got my dog from, when they asked me to stick it on my rear screen window. There is a colouring book, where children find the animals hiding beneath the flaps and colour them in, and an activity book, including 40 stickers. She has memorized it now, and certainly knows the name of all the animals, but seems to enjoy pretending to not know them. It's packed full of activities, colouring-in and games which are specially designed for preschoolers.
