Zigby the zebra is an anthropomorphic children's fictional character created by Scottish-born English author Brian Paterson.[2] Zigby appears in a series of picture books and board books as well as in a 3D-animated television adaptation. It aired on Treehouse TV from 2009 to 2011 (with repeats from 2013 to 2015) in Canada and it was previously aired on CBeebies in the UK from 2009 to 2011.
Zigby lives in a treehouse in Mudwater Creek, on a lush tropical island. In a typical book or episode, the enthusiastic zebra "trots into trouble" through his slightly eccentric behavior. He is followed by his best friends McMeer the meerkat and Bertie Bird the anxious guinea fowl.
The following picture books for ages approximately 2–5[3] were published by HarperCollins:
- Zigby Camps Out (2002)
- Zigby Hunts for Treasure (2002)
- Zigby and the Ant Invaders (2003)
- Zigby Dives In (2003)
- Zigby and the Monster (2005)
Four board books (Go-Kart, The Picnic, The Birthday Party, Toy Box) appeared in 2004 with the same publisher. As of early 2005, 350,000 copies had been sold in fifteen countries.[4]
