IN HIS latest adventure, Zigby, "the zebra who trots into trouble", finds an ant called Tiny in his home at Mudwater Creek.

Tiny and his family have lost their home in a thunderstorm, and Zigby, being the nice zebra that he is, says that they all can come to live with him. Soon he is being eaten out of house and home. But Zigby's friends, Bertie the bird and McMeer the meerkat, have a cunning plan to lose the ant family.

During a game of hide and seek the friends run off, leaving the ants lost deep in the jungle. There is a happy ending, however, as Zigby, pricked by a guilty conscience, builds the friendly ants a new home out of mud. It's a fun story, with pages full of bright, vivid colours.
