4.0 out of 5 stars
Two year old likes it,
This review is from: How the Zebra Got Its Stripes (Little Golden Book) (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my son's two-year birthday. He loves Zebras, and so I thought he would like this book. When I opened the book for the first time, I was a little concerned because there are many words. I didn't think it would hold his attention. But to my surprise he loved it. The reading involves dialogue from other animals, so you can make cute voices. That along with the many pictures in the book...my son enjoyed it. He even requests us to read it now..."zebra book".
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: How the Zebra Got Its Stripes (Little Golden Book) (Hardcover)
This fictional book regarding zebras was well received by children. It does include religious stories as possible reasons zebras got their stripes. It was necessary to explain to the children that the stories were made up.
