At first, all Zoe could see was a small, fluffy white bundle. Then the bundle moved, and a little white face with big dark eyes and furry ears was staring back at her. “It’s a baby polar bear!” cried Zoe.
Chapter One
Panda Playtime
Zoe Parker shivered and pulled her coat around her. “Brrr! It’s really chilly today!” she said.
“Chi Chi and Mei Mei don’t seem to mind!” replied Stephanie, the panda keeper. “Their thick furry coats must be keeping them nice and warm.”
It was a wintry Sunday morning at the Rescue Zoo, and Zoe was helping Stephanie in the panda enclosure. They each had a watering can and were sprinkling water over the bamboo plants. The Rescue Zoo pandas, Chi Chi and Mei Mei, liked lots of different fruits, nuts and seeds, but the juicy, green bamboo growing in their enclosure was their favourite thing to eat. And, like all pandas, they munched lots of it!
“They’re really playful this morning, aren’t they?” said Zoe, as Chi Chi chased her little sister across the enclosure, squeaking excitedly as she dashed right under Stephanie’s feet! Stephanie cried out in surprise, wobbled and almost lost her balance, grabbing on to a tree to keep herself from falling over.
“That was close!” she laughed. “I’ve almost tripped over them once already this morning, the cheeky little things.”
Zoe loved helping Stephanie look after the pandas. Whenever she had any spare time at all she could be found in the zoo: helping out the zookeepers or playing with the animals! But Zoe wasn’t a visitor, like most people who passed through the zoo gates – she actually lived at the Rescue Zoo! Her Great-Uncle Horace was a famous explorer and animal expert, and he had built the zoo so that all the lost, frightened and injured animals he met on his travels would have somewhere safe to live.
Zoe’s mum, Lucy, was the zoo vet. Lucy and Zoe lived in a little cottage at the edge of the zoo, so that whenever an animal was poorly or injured, Lucy was close by and could quickly help them. Zoe thought she was the luckiest girl in the world to have so many amazing animals right outside her front door!
“Yum. I wasn’t sure I’d like bamboo, but it’s very tasty!” chirped a little voice behind her. Zoe turned to see a little, furry creature with big golden eyes nibbling happily at a green shoot. Glancing over to check that Stephanie wasn’t close enough to hear, she whispered with a smile, “Naughty Meep. If Chi Chi and Mei Mei spot you eating their bamboo, they’ll be very cross!”
Living at the Rescue Zoo wasn’t the only special thing about Zoe. On her sixth birthday, she had found out that animals can understand people. And Zoe had discovered that she had a special ability to understand animals, and talk back! No one else knew the secret, though – it was between her and the animals.
