The main Animal Ark series runs to sixty-one books published between 1994 and 2003. The books follow a consistent format: each title names an animal in an alliterative setting, from Kittens in the Kitchen to Labrador on the Lawn, and the story follows a young protagonist who works to help that animal.
The series takes readers around the world as well as around the neighborhood. Early books are set in the English countryside, but later entries travel to Australia (Koalas in a Crisis, Wombat in the Wild), Africa (Lion by the Lake, Elephants in the East), and other locations. Despite the changing settings, the core appeal stays the same: young characters solving problems and caring for animals.
