<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 332041, member: 33&quot;][USER=23]@Bev aka thelmasstuff[/USER] , one person has replied to my query about your book. What do you think?</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Sounds like this might be The Perfect Zoo by Eleanor Farjeon. It&#039;s for sale on ebay (<a href="https://tinyurl.com/yb4nqb57" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://tinyurl.com/yb4nqb57" rel="nofollow">https://tinyurl.com/yb4nqb57</a>) and includes the following description:</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>When Uncle Ben walked into the children&#039;s bedroom to try and quieten them, they all threw their toys at him, and Peter flung Nimbo, the old blue clown, into the coal-cuttle.</b></p><p><b>&quot;You have hurt your toys,&quot; said Uncle Ben, &quot;you have mad your clown ill, you won&#039;t go to bed, and you have turned your home int a Perfect Zoo.&quot; Then he counted <i>One-Two-Three</i> to give the kiddies a last chance of getting into bed, but they would not obey - and suddenly they found themselves changed into their own toys and condemned to remain so until they had found the Green-Headed Beetle whose toasted cheese alone could make poor Nimbo well. Off went Peter (now a teddy bear), Betty (now a fluffy terrier), and Pat (now a plush bulldog), and ran into all manner of thrilling and delightful adventures with the Leggy Rabbit, the monkey, the duck, and many other acquaintances, until they found the Green-Headed Beetle - sitting in front of their own nursery fire at home, toasting cheese! So they managed to heal Nimbo and get into their own skins - and went straight to bed! </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>First published in 1929, this is the 1947 edition.</b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
