A celebration of colours and patterns from the pair that brought you bestseller NOT YET, ZEBRA. Annie said to the animals, "Let's help baby Joe. He's learning his colours, which he doesn't yet know. I'll paint pictures of you - please line up for me. If I use the right colours then Joe will soon see." Everyone's favourite, enthusiastic zebra is back, eager to get in on the act as Annie tries to teach her little brother about colours. But although things don't turn out quite the way she imagines, together they make the world a brighter and more beautiful place!
Editorial Review
This is an adorable abecedary for preschoolers and kindergarteners, who will relate to the impatience of having to wait one's turn. Zebra gives the saddest eyes, the nudgiest nudges, and the most creative disguises, all in an attempt to wheedle his way to the front of the line, but Annie catches our wily friend every time. This one's fun to read aloud, and would make a great companion to my other favorite impatient friend, The Pigeon. The endpapers feature our Zebra friend, contorting himself into all the letters in the alphabet, and the artwork is colorful and cartoony, nicely set against the subdued background pages. I'm always up for a good concept book for my collection; something that gets the ideas covered, but with a little fun; something that brings some personality to the narrative. Not Yet, Zebra brings the giggles, for sure.- Mom Read It
