What's the book about?

Dad squeezes into a very tight wetsuit, but when the zip gets stuck, everyone has to work together to try and get him out. Biff, Chip and Kipper pull and tug, and there are lots of funny faces and giggles along the way. This light-hearted story makes practising your sounds fun while you find out if Dad will ever make it into the water.
