Zippy returns with another fun set! After the rain drives Zippy and his friends - Chiki the Monkey, Ela the Elephant, Toto the Turtle, Giri the Garial, Reebo the Rhino and his brothers, Rippy and Rollo, Deepu the Duck, Cheeno the Cheetah and Jiya the Rabbit - indoors, they have a great time playing in his room and making a complete mess. But they also discover that it's a good idea to clean up afterwards. This rollicking story for young readers written in rhyme reinforces different themes, one of which is diversity. Each animal belongs to a different species and has a distinct personality. Together, they learn basic life lessons and make many discoveries about the world around them. Written in simple and lively language, the Zippy series is fun, educational, interactive and exciting for children who have just been introduced to reading. It is also great for reading aloud.

Each picture book in the series is accompanied by an activity book. Zippy and his friends will take children through a wide range of fun activities including colouring and drawing activities, puzzles, mazes, spot the differences and much else. The book includes stickers to add to the fun.
