Loiacono Literary Agency takes on Philip Mygatt’s The Only One Zoo!

After a successful career as an Air Force pilot and founder of a pharmacy software company, Philip Sherman Mygatt retired to Florida with his wife, two dogs and two cats. Finding retirement a challenge, he decided to turn his creative talents to writing and has since published four, full-length novels in the last five years.

As a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators, he read Hooper Humperdink…? Not Him! to a kindergarten class celebrating Dr. Seuss’ 111th birthday. Hearing their gleeful laughter was all it took. He was hooked! So started the writing of humorous children’s books to fulfill his growing passion, to entertain young and old alike.

However, he never forgot the first time his mother read Horton Hatches an Egg to him in 1945, “I mean what I said and I said what I meant. An elephant’s faithful one-hundred percent.” His inner-Dr. Seuss marinated for over seventy years until he decided to write stories for his grandchildren. Although he admits there will never be another Dr. Seuss, he hopes the Lorax and the Once-ler will have new friends in the future to keep them company; that is if Professor Thaddeus P. Thumbknuckle has anything to do with it.

The Only-One Zoo is a whimsical rhyming story about a special zoo where the last of each species is kept on display with a subtle environmental message told in a way children can easily relate and enjoy.

Have you ever seen a Zeegel or a Sneegel?  A Whoa!? Or a Ziggy-Zim-Zim?  Jim, Bob, Sweet Sue, and their parents experience a weekend trip full of wonderful sights as they visit The Only-One Zoo on their way to Mount Snout, which looks and sounds just like a pig.

Children and adults will take delight in reading this topsy-turvy story of rhymes and fantastical creatures.
