About the Author
Author: Mwenye Hadithi was born in Nairobi in a rambling brick and wood house surrounded by ten acres. His early life was full of animals. He attended London University, studying languages and foreign literature. When his first attempts at short stories and radio plays were sold immediately, he decided to be the next great African Writer. Illustrator: Adrienne Kennaway moved from Kenya to London when she was 15 to study at the Ealing School of Art. Later she attended L'Academia de Belle Arte in Rome. It was on her return to Kenya that she began illustrating the picture books that have made her well known.

An imaginative "just-so" story with fantastic art,
By LouS (NJ USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Greedy Zebra (African Animal Tales) (Paperback)
This book might have been entitled "How the Zebra got its stripes" - it is like the well-known "just-so" stories in that sense. However, the way the zebra gets stripes is quite imaginative. The artwork is outstanding - colorful, somewhat abstract, and fits the text perfectly.
