Zebras

Seedlings

by Kate Riggs

A basic exploration of the appearance, behavior, and habitat of zebras, the striped African horses. Also included is a story from folklore explaining how zebras came to have striped fur. From humpbacked camels to drumming woodpeckers, and from fast-flying hummingbirds to slow-moving tortoises, the world of animals is wonderfully diverse. This popular and newly expanded series continues traveling the planet to study these and other fascinating animals. Beautiful photos are paired with accessible text to examine the featured creature's appearance, habitat, behaviors, and life cycle. Each book also presents a folk story that people have used to help explain the animal's appearance or behavior.

This book is all about zebras, including several different facts about them and real pictures of these animals. It then tells a fictional story about how zebras got their stripes. It includes some fun facts about zebras at the end as well.
I liked this book, I know my youngest brother loves animals and really likes these books as well.
This would be good when talking about zebras in particular or if wanting to do a lesson on Africa and having books with animals from there out for the kids to read.
