Zerby Derby Upstream

An e-book based on the Zerby Derby television series.

In this interactive e-book, Zack and Lily are exploring when they discover a whole new pond. They tell Bob the boat about it and he tries to get there by driving up the stream that connects it to Zerby Town Lake, but the stream is too fast and too steep at parts. Even with Zack pulling it doesn’t look like it’s going to work. But Lily might have the solution, they just need to try, try again.

Share the experience with your child by choosing the Read to Me option, and listen as the story is narrated by Zack. Each word is highlighted as it is read, and small animations play as the story progresses. Your child will love to re-play the animations by activating them through touch.

Or read the book to your child by selecting the Read by Myself option and watch as your child enjoys exploring the animations and sayings that can be activated on each page.

In both options your child will love discovering the interactivity that is triggered by their little fingers.

Based on Zerby Derby, a fully live-action series that airs on TVOKids. In the series, toy-sized, remote-controlled cars live and play in a life-size forest. Whether it's crossing streams, building dams or exploring a meadow, the Zerbies approach every problem with enthusiasm, and when things go wrong, they happily tackle each set-back with their mantra: "try, try again."
