From The Tiger Who Came to Tea, to The Snail and the Wale, keepers at London Zoo are reading animal adventures to stay in touch with younger visitors while they are closed.
Every Saturday and Sunday until February 21, keepers at the Whipsnade and Regent s Park zoos will read a different story book from one of the animal enclosures and post it on Facebook.
The virtual bedtime stories are a way to bring the zoo to youngsters unable to visit in person and keep them in touch with the animals during lockdown.
