"What are endangered species," asked Biju the baby elephant, "will we like them?" "Well, some, for sure," answered the zoo director, "because you are one. In many parts of the world, elephants are no longer safe in their jungle homes. So it's important for people who love animals to look after them." Biju, visiting his friend Daniel in Vienna, stays at the brand new zoo for endangered species, close to Dan's home. As they explore Vienna, adventures are sure to happen.

SUSAN Cohen, born and grown in Sydney, Australia, holds degrees in anthropology, English literature (Sydney University) and linguistics (University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne). Following her heart, she studied Italian and la dolce vita in Perugia and then moved to Vienna, probably for the rest of her life. She has spent many of her waking hours editing publications and teaching writing at Vienna-based UN organizations, resorting to creative writing for much needed comic relief. Susan started writing children's stories in 2016, when her four-year-old grandson, Daniel, kept asking her for more and more tales about his adventures with his friend Biju, a little African elephant. Now, she can't stop.
