Welcome to the Wandering Meadow, and the world of Zip, Zap, and Zup. Our friendly little family of ladybugs are all about adventures and learning. They might be small, but they are doing big things. Each Zip, Zap, and Zup book is a collection of three separate stories for your youngster, along with some bonus pages in the back In "All in the Family", our little ladybug family is growing, as we meet Skippy and Zippy. In "Family Ties", Hoppity and Hippity find a little bug that doesn't seem to have a family. They end up placing him with Zip, Zap, and Zup, who grow to love him very much, but do they get to keep him? In "Mine, Not Yours", Zippy and Skippy are growing fast, but they aren't getting along very well. Everything seems to be a competition. While Zip, Zap, and Zup tell them to be nice and be thankful that they have each other, they have to discover how blessed they are themselves. In "Best Friends", Zip, Zippy, and Skippy head to the pond. It's a nice afternoon, until Mr. Alligator comes by. But it turns out that his scare actually works out for the best. Zip, Zap, and Zup stories are intended for children, ages 4 through 8, though children of all ages love stories with a happy ending. Won't you come along with us? It's always more fun going on an adventure together.
