Gr 7 Up—Ziggy brings to life both the simplicities and complexities of daily life. His struggles with lost luggage, insurance, finances, dating, and customer service are sure to hit home with many adults. Teens will find humor in his interactions with his pets and the pigeons in the park. Ziggy's experiences can evoke a contemplative mood or an inspiring and uplifting change of heart. The humor in the one-liners goes hand-in-hand with Wilson's simple yet effective rendering of the little bald man who rarely wears pants. A daily dose of Ziggy is good for the heart, mind, and soul.—Carol Hirsche, Provo City Library, UT
