Bookroo's summary

Joe the giraffe and Sparky the turtle stumble upon a talent show at the zoo. Eager to compete, Joe showcases his quirky skills, but Sparky struggles to find his own. With Joe's relentless encouragement, can Sparky uncover his hidden talent and shine on stage? Join this unlikely duo on a hilarious journey of friendship and self-discovery, where even the shyest can become a superstar.

From the publisher

The unlikely duo return in a very funny tale of friendship, derring-do, and the discovery that, bold or shy, anyone can become a superstar. When fun-seeking Joe, a giraffe, takes a reluctant Sparky, a turtle, on a wild ride across the famous cageless zoo to see a mysterious box displaying a talent show, the two decide they must compete to be the next famous pair. But what are their talents? Joe can run fast, wiggle his ears, and touch his nose with his tongue (not to mention drive a car). But Sparky doesn’t know what his special skill is. Can the enthusiastic encouragement of Joe the World’s Best Talent Finder help the retiring Sparky become a star?
