Percy the park keeper loves to spend time with his animal friends, even though his work in the park keeps him very busy. The animals often need Percy to lend a helping hand, like the time when a little bird needed flying lessons! Percy and his animal friends take it upon themselves to teach their new little bird friend to fly. Squirrel's idea almost turns to disaster, but in the end their feathered friend goes on his way under his own steam!

A mysterious series of thefts sets Percy and friends off on a trail around the park. Follow the story and get fully involved in the action through the four spectacular stand-up tableaux, featuring the inside of Percy's hut complete with opening cupboards and drawers; the playground with fully functional roundabout, see-saw and swing; the maze with the changing picture and the final spread with the moving tree.

The badger has had a lovely day digging, but before he can have tea with Percy, Percy insists that he has a bath.

The magpie had a birds-eye view of Zaccheus climbing into his tree. and the mouse got caught on a boat in a storm and saw an amazing miracle
