If you have a child aged between 3-8 years, I would definitely recommend this book. It is such a fun and short read for children. Anitha Balachandran has done an amazing job with all the illustrations.

This is a new children series where the main character is a Zebra named Zippy. Interesting name, uhh? There are a lot of other animals in the story - Chikki, Reebo, Rippy, Rollo, Deepu, Cheenu, Giri, Ela, Toto, and Jiya. I'll leave it this to you to guess the correct animal on the basis of the names. Just remember that the starting alphabet of each name represents each animal name :P

In the first book of the series, all the animals have been shown as doing their work separately. Then, in the end, Zippy tell them what we all do them together? This simple story teaches many things to children. It teaches them the value of unity and friendship. It teaches them how your work can reduce merely by involving with others and making a friend. Not only that, but you will enjoy it too.

As for the Anitha's illustrations, they are really pretty and would definitely attract the young children. Each character is colorful with a different appearance. The writer has made sure to include the diverse personality, interests, and skills of each of the character. This will introduce children to diversity and will make them learn to celebrate and embrace it.

Such a unique and fun book to read for your children.
