Pick up this first story in the new "Zee" series to discover an extremely adventurous child. Zee is given a grand introduction on the opening page, which pairs up with an attractive illustration of Zee with her large "twinkly" green eyes and pigtails that stretch to the ground. Early on, readers learn about Zee and her interesting life shared with Pikabu the butterfly, Zippy the hummingbird, and Pook the bookshelf who just happens to spit out books needed by Zee for her adventures. Readers and listeners also learn that Zee shares traits common to many kids her age and that sometimes she gets mixed up. In a unique story line, she confuses the fact that Mom needs "china" for her dinner party with the country of "China." In a grand effort to help Mom, Zee, Pikabu, and Zippy travel through a secret passage in Zee's room to the country of China. Zee finds many Chinese people there, and several travel back with her to supply Mom with China. Some confusion arises but all ends well, with Zee considering her next adventure. What appears to be a simple story is more than that. Readers and listeners can identify with Zee and learn much about the culture of China. Snazzy illustrations overflow with color and add pizzazz to text already filled with fun. Youngsters will want more than one read of this book. Several trips through the book just to look at the illustrations are in order, too. 2005, Librujas.
