Gorgeous

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!"

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!!
