Kids Books A to Z: Z is for Zipperump A Zoo

The Zipperump-a-Zoo is the only creature missing from Professor Wormbog's alphabetical collection of beasts in the classic book by Mercer Mayer. So, the Professor embarks upon a journey around the world, in the air, underground and in the sea, trying to find one. Alas, you cannot find the Zipperump-a-Zoo unless it wants you to!


Professor Wormbog in Search for the Zipperump-a-Zoo was created long before the Little Critter and Little Monster series. You can almost recognize some of the characters, though, as you page through and look at the illustrations. This book was out of print for several years, but has been brought back to delight new generations of kids.
