'Mother of all meerkats!' he said.
And that is where the mayhem began...

The Story Behind Meerkat Mayhem
I re-read an old folktale that I love, called The Great Big Enormous Turnip. I decided to make it more up to date, with different, more interesting characters. I also tried to make it funnier. I love meerkats— who doesn’t? So I chose a meerkat as my main character.
