Usborne First Reading: How Zebras Got Their Stripes

Once upon a time, zebras didn’t have stripes. Then along came a greedy baboon… Based on an African folktale, this lovely little book tells a classic story in rich, vibrant artwork and carefully-levelled text. Presented in a hardback gift edition with a ribbon marker, the book supports Level Two of the Usborne First Reading series, for children who are starting to tackle more complex stories and sentences. It includes several pages of reading-related puzzles to build skills and comprehension.
