This is a lovely story with simple illustrations that enhance the story. My son borrowed it from the library and then asked me if we could purchase it because it was "a very special story".

I bought this for our son's first birthday and now he's three, he still loves hearing it. My husband and I find it fun to read aloud, especially the roaring lion and Little Zeb's squeaky voice. In fact, I took it to his preschool to read to the kids and they loved it. Having a British husband I appreciate the British tone and pronounce the word ZEBra so the name "Zeb" makes more sense (one of the reasons I bought the book was because of the British lingo like "tip-top" and "bottom".) I also love the crayon-like illustrations. They're warm, vibrant and evocative of the African savannah.

I picked this book up because of the charming illustrations, not realizing it was aimed at preschoolers. My 7 1/2-year-old twin boys love it. I have read it nightly for about a week. I think there is something about Little Zeb's charm and innocence that appeals to "big boys." Can't wait to get Castle's newest Little Zeb book, "Naughty!"

I bought the book because of the gorgeous pictures, very pleasurable to look at. Reading it out loud went from fun to progressively more of a chore; I was glad to finally reach the end. The story started to stumble towards the middle. My daughters never asked me to read it again, though they did enjoy looking at the pictures.

My two daughters--ages 4 1/2 and 1 1/2--love this book. They want me to read it over & over again. And they enjoy Little Zeb's new phrases as much he does!!

This is a cute book to show how children (even animal children) pick up new words and are not sure how to use them. Very colorful and fun to read.
