I’m not that fussed about Gus

The pictures are really cute. He is an adorable little zebra. The story is all right. It seemed to drag just the teensiest bit for me. But shows a long journey and being patient. Good to have on display in my Toddler Jungle/Safari theme.

Gus, the little Zebra loves nothing more than kicking up dust, but when his family decides to leave the dry Savana and relocate to a new water hole, Gus is upset. How will Gus amuse himself during the long journey without kicking up a fuss? Only time will tell.

A young zebra named Gus is frustrated that he has to migrate to the water hole and journey seems to take forever. Great illustrations and a nice lesson on patience that's not too didactic. A good group read aloud.
