Peter Worthington, author of the delightful series, Animal Adventures at Tipee Hipee Safari Park, and Nur Azmi who illustrated the series with his bright and bold colours, were at Borders The Gardens on 29 August 2009.

The Chidlren listened with rapt attention to Peter's story of two hippos who went for a swim only to come across poachers and polluted water. But to everyone's relief, the rangers came and rescued them.

Artist Nur Azmi delighted the children with demonstrations of his illustrations and the children were eager to show what they can do as well. The children also had opportunity to join the colouring contest.

Thanks to Borders and their stationery partner, Campap, who sponsored the colouring materials.
