VIPO's character is that of a good hearted boy.VIPO also stands for the educationalconcept of the series: He is kind, resourceful, curious, and clever.

Before VIPO learned how to fly, he was so clumsy! His morning routine would con-sist of stepping on his long ears at least twice, then stumbling down the stairs, andtripping yet again, on his way to school... poor VIPO! Everyone was making fun of hisbig ears.

But one day, while helping his friend Henry the stork to train for his first flying les-son, VIPO suddenly discovers an amazing thing: if he only flaps his long ears hardenough – they can carry him above the ground and make him fly!

This causes VIPO to realize that his dream is to become a brave explorer, flyingaround the world and learning all there is to know!

VIPO and his toy cat Betty join Henry the stork and together they set off to theiramazing adventures.VIPO's motto is: "I can help!", and he will always be the first tocome up with brilliant ideas to solve any problems that may occur.
