Meet Zigby - the zebra who trots into trouble!

It's Zigby's birthday and he has invited lots of special little animal friends to tea.

There are party hats with zig-zags, swirly ice-cream and a big cake with spots. But what is inside the birthday present wrapped in wavy paper? A stripy bicycle - just like Zigby!
