Ziggy the Poodle and Chippy the Chipmunk were the best of chums - they never let each other feel gloomy or glum. But then doggone (actually chipmunk gone) Chippy disappears! A friend so keen was now nowhere to be seen! Ziggy quickly embarks on a search for his missing pal where he meets friendly and helpful animals including "Mortimer T. Frog," "Bee Careful," "Pretty as Can Be Miss Mango Kitty," "Mr. O (not a know-it-all) Possum" and "Sally Book Bunny." Lessons on the meaning and value of true friendship are whimsically demonstrated en route to the book's joyous conclusion. This children's book features fun to read aloud rhyming text and large full-color illustrations which are funny, heart-warming and engaging to young readers. An illustrated summary of Ziggy's friendship lessons appear at the end. This book has been created for ages 3 - 7 years but adults will enjoy it too!
