Animal Ark

Animal Ark is a children's book series written by Ben M. Baglio. The books were first published in the United Kingdom under the pseudonym Lucy Daniels, beginning in 1994. They have now been published in the USA and many other countries.

The general plot of each book features Mandy, the daughter of the local veterinarian, finding animals in trouble and trying to help them with the assistance of her best friend James, and other people in the village. Animal Ark is the name of the vet surgery.

The Animal Ark books have been adapted for a television series, and a magazine, Animal Ark, has been published to accompany the books. The magazine helps to support the Jean Byrd Animal Rescue and Education Centre near Shamwari, South Africa through the Born Free Foundation.
