Miffy the bunny is back. As with other Miffy outings over the past 50 years, her visit to the zoo is a list of events. She sees a kangaroo. She rides on a tortoise. It is all very gentle and unassuming. Miffy Goes to the Zoo provides no surprises, even in the traditional paper design for the pop-up components. But then ‘no surprises’ is exactly what we expect from Miffy who has been around since 1955.
