Zebras

Children's Literature - Melissa A. Caudill

Did you know there are three species of zebras and that they have very different lifestyles? Not only do they vary in size and geographical location, but they also vary in how they interact with each other. Readers will speculate with the experts about why zebras have stripes. They will also learn about what they eat, how they are raised, and what happens in a typical zebra day. Predators, their largest are humans, have lowered zebra numbers enough that they are now considered an endangered species. This book provides a table of contents and words highlighted in the text are defined in the glossary. Addresses of wildlife protection agencies are provided along with further reading suggestions. An index makes it easy to look up specific topics. A great starter book for young readers preparing nonfiction report on zebras. Part of the "Endangered!" series.
