Each of these Korean imports delivers a lesson--e.g., "responsibility," "teamwork," "having confidence,"--and includes suggestions of activities for applying it (e.g., Zippy encourages kids to "create a vision board" to practice "having hope"). The didactic stories are uniformly stilted and saccharine, though a variety of illustration styles feature vibrantly-colored characters (mostly animals) cheerfully learning social behaviors. There are six other fall 2014 books in this series.

"Despite practice and repetition, Zippy the Zebra cannot win a race. His body is skinny and his legs are very short. His friends encourage him to find other things to do, but Zippy likes to run. So Zippy keeps running, hoping that next time he will do better. Social and emotional learning concepts include hope, optimism, and perseverance. Book includes a note to caregivers and story coaching activities. A Reader's Theater version is available online so that children can benefit from dramatic interpretation."
