Book Description

September 7, 2001 0 and upProfessor Wormbog

Professor Wormbog is missing a Zipperump-a-Zoo from his collection of beasts, so he sets off in search of one—a search that takes him all over the world.



If you open almost any of award-winning author/illustrator Mercer Mayer’s 250+ children’s books you’ll see dragons, cuddly monsters, wonderful creatures, and endearing critters. Born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Mr. Mayer spent his childhood hunting lizards and snakes in the swamps by his home. During his teenage years, he lived in Hawaii where he attended the Honolulu Academy of Arts. He later received additional training at the Art Students League in New York City. Upon completion of his studies he set out with pen and ink to write and illustrate adventures he experienced as a child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, Charming Book!, April 29, 2006

K. Andrew (Twin Cities, MN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Professor Wormbog in Search for the Zipperump-a-Zoo (Hardcover)
This was one of my favorite books when I was a child. As I got older, it was passed on to my sibilings, and when I worked with children, they all loved it. This book has it all: humor, adventure, great storytelling, and memorable characters.

If you are looking for a whimsical, fun book that's good for the whole family, this is it.

(If you're one of us, too, that's in your twenties and still getting a smile when you read of the adventures of Professor Wormbog... don't worry, I won't tell anybody.)

This review is from: Professor Wormbog in Search for the Zipperump-a-Zoo (Hardcover)
One of my very favorite books from childhood. The creatures in this book are so fun and the artwork so detailed. I used to make my mom read it to me again and again to try and find new things in the pictures. A great companion book is "One Monster After Another" by the same author, because it has some of the same characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book Ever!, November 12, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Professor Wormbog in Search for the Zipperump-a-Zoo (Hardcover)
This was my favorite book as a child. Luckily I saved it to share with my own kids. I've been looking for a "new" copy for years with no luck. I was thrilled to see that it was re-released. The illustrations are more vivid in the original, but the re-release is a great size and I'm happy to let my kids flip through it. The story is funny and engaging and might just help them learn the alphabet!
