'In the middle of the city,

'In the middle of the night,

'Something is about to happen in Jamie's room...

'Go wild with the wildlife of "The Night Zoo" as we join Jamie for a night on which her dreams might just come true...

'From her window high above the city Jamie dreams of making friends with animals, but her Mum and Dad won't let her have a pet in the apartment. Tonight, whilst the rest of the city sleeps, Jamie is getting a visit from the Night Zoo. Meerkat and elephant, orangutan and penguin, thorny devil and giraffe... it's going to be a jungle up there!'
