Tom and his little brother Jamie are off on a big day out ? a trip to the zoo!
Tom can't wait to read all the animal signs and learn new facts, while Jamie just wants to run, roar, and reach the giant play park at the end. Along the way, they meet meerkats, elephants, penguins, and even join a chimpanzee talk where Tom surprises everyone with his incredible knowledge.
But when the noise and excitement become a bit too much, Tom finds courage in his own quiet way ? and with Jamie's encouragement, learns that bravery can look different for everyone.
A heartwarming story about brothers, differences, and finding joy together, The Boy in the Bobble Hat: The Trip to the Zoo continues Penny Hark's gentle series celebrating neurodiversity, empathy, and the special connections that make every family unique.
Perfect for bedtime reading, classroom story time, or starting conversations about understanding and acceptance.
