Fact and Fiction

This book moves through several legends of how the zebra got it's stripes, then ends with some scientific facts. Really great illustrations with an entertaining documentary/Interview style aimed at young children.

Two year old likes it

I bought this book for my son's two-year birthday. He loves Zebras, and so I thought he would like this book. When I opened the book for the first time, I was a little concerned because there are many words. I didn't think it would hold his attention. But to my surprise he loved it. The reading involves dialogue from other animals, so you can make cute voices. That along with the many pictures in the book...my son enjoyed it. He even requests us to read it now..."zebra book".
