 When Cinnamon the Capybara escaped her enclosure at Hoo Zoo and Dinosaur World last September, the news spread quickly and Cinnamon became a worldwide celebrity. Luckily Cinnamon was found and returned to the zoo after seven days.

Local author, Tracey J Morgan has brought Cinnamon’s adventure to life in a new children’s book, Cinnamon’s Big Adventure, illustrated by viral artist Hercule Van Wolfwinkle and published by Hoo Zoo, this charming tale is set to captivate young readers everywhere.

The book’s author and zoo owner, Will Dorrell are now inviting families to join them as they re-tell Cinnamon’s story at a special event happening on Saturday 1^st February at Shrewsbury Library.  The special reading of Cinnamon’s Big Adventure will start at 11am and will tell the story of what really happened when Cinnamon escaped her enclosure.

“I’m so excited to share this story with everyone, we’ve had a lot of fun imagining all the things Cinnamon could have got up to during those seven days. I feel privileged to have been able to write this for Hoo Zoo,” said Tracey.

Books will be for sale on the day. All proceeds from book sales will go to the zoo, providing enrichment and new enclosures for the animals.
