David Bailey

The Unusual Zoo was created by author David Bailey as a result of his efforts to remotely entertain his grandchildren during the pandemic! The Unusual Zoo” was born—a whimsical collection of bedtime tales. Children giggled, parents marvelled, and the moon winked knowingly

With its humour, original animal characters and use of rhyme he hopes the book will help children and parents re-invent storytelling and encourage future generations to create characters and write their own adventures.

David Bailey is also the author of Thoughts from Grandpa and a very serious business book….. How to Build An Effective Sales Strategy. He is a former BBC Dragons Den entrepreneur who started writing children’s rhyming stories to teach the use of words and to promote kindness and politeness in an ever-increasing world of trolling and unpleasant behaviour amongst children.

David’s legacy isn’t etched in marble; it’s woven in laughter. His rhymes skip hand-in-hand with kindness, teaching children that words can be bridges not barricades.

So, next time you spot a pizza, imagine it as a stepping stone to David’s Zoo. And remember, life is a canvas—paint it with wonder, write it with joy, and dance like nobody is watching!

David Bailey—The business maestro, the author, the dreamer, the keeper of The Unusual Zoo. May his tales echo through generations, reminding us that magic exists in the spaces between words and the twinkle in our eyes.
