The unlikely duo return in a very funny tale of friendship, derring-do—and the discovery that, bold or shy, we all have the makings of 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 Hunter help the retiring Sparky become a star?

Follow-up to the hilarious Joe and Sparky Get New Wheels
Even funnier than the first book! Pokes gentle fun at an American Idol-type television show, which is misinterpreted by this amusingly clueless pair.
Its very useful message, that everyone has talent of some kind, is delivered with lively writing, slapstick humor, and candy-bright illustrations.
