Kids can learn about the mail service alongside Mr. Zip and his eagle partner.
In 1963, the United States Postal Service introduced Mr. Zip, a cartoon mascot designed to encourage the use of the new zip code system. Now 60 years later, Mr. Zip is back in a new children’s book from Curiosity Ink Media and Dynamite Entertainment that can teach children about the USPS.
Aimed at children aged 5-12, Mr. Zip’s Windy Day follows Mr. Zip, a mail sorter who works alongside his friendly eagle, B. Franklin, to deliver letters. While on his daily mail route, a huge gust of wind blows away the letters Mr. Zip has to deliver, so he and B. Franklin will have to work together to get them back.
As kids read Mr. Zip’s Windy Day, they’ll be able to lift 37 flaps to discover what’s hidden underneath. The book is available in both digital and physical formats.
Mr. Zip’s Windy Day is now available as an eBook on Kindle devices for $8.99. Physical copies of the book are available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other retailers for $10.99.
