Zip & Milly: Big Water EPISODE 4
Zip & Milly adventures is a story of two Spaniel dogs, published in weekly installments
Two purebred Spaniels Zip and Milly and their Human—a quietly famous Russian scientist—moved to America and bought a house in the tiny Southern Town of Ducklingburg on a sleepy White Goose Lane.
The Spaniels soon made friends with the locals—the family of Fox Theodore who, just like the Spaniels, can understand the Human language perfectly, even though none of them could speak it. After all, they are mere animals.
Life with the Humans turned out to be full of adventures. Zip, Milly and Fox Theodore got sucked into the Humans' problems. It all started with the natural disaster—the horrid flood, but what made matters truly worse were man-made disasters.

Zip and Milly – It takes a while to read, but it’s worth the time. My 8, 9, and 13-year-olds read this story as I did. English Springer Spaniels Zip and Milly are siblings and share the stage with Theo the fox and his daughter Freckle, and Rosie, a cat. The human is an 84-year-old scientist that Zip protects every minute of the day.
I like that the vocabulary was a higher level. My kids read their books with dictionaries nearby, which is mandatory in our family, and did not have a problem with adult words. I was reading the Classics already by age eight, so a larger range in vocabulary is not a problem in my eyes.
While this book is for children, it reads well for all ages. I enjoyed the book just as much as the rugrats did and we give the book 5stars. I found this book on Booksprout. 5*
