Description
Have you ever wanted to create your own magical animal?
Join author Nova Weetman and illustrator Chris Kennett, co-creators of the magical Zooniverse series, as they guide you through steps to create your very own animal mash-up creations called mashimals!
Zooniverse follows the story of Noah and his best friend Blue who like to design weird and wonderful mashimals - and then bring them to life with the help of a magical book.
