Zen, a brash and animated Zebra who can beat any animal in a race, chances upon a herd of his own kind who believe they are superior merely because of the order of their stripes. "Race-ism" - not racism - is the only type of argument Zen wishes to engage in. This is a "must-read" for any age child (or adult ) that easily allows the reader to infer how silly it is to feel superior just because of the pattern of one's stripes It's also a fabulously fun book to simply enjoy for it's own sake
