The fox shows them all the hidden animals of the city and Ottoline makes notes on them in her field notebook.

Publisher Review

Features plenty of illustrations, a steampunk aesthetic and great mystery. These books were designed originally for slightly older children to read themselves but my daughter and I devoured it over three nights. — Fran Yeoman * IndyBest * A brilliantly imaginative and exciting book from start to finish! * Lancashire Post * A zany and entertaining story with plenty to appeal to children. * Parents in Touch * Chris Riddell’s illustrations are as dazzling as ever; it’s worth lingering over every page to revel in the fluency of his line and to look out for the myriad little details. Ottoline is a delight for readers of all ages. * LoveReading 4 Kids *
