Bookroo's summary
In a world of spots and stripes, a boy stands out in his plain grey clothes. His parents' love for patterns is unmatched, but a trip to the safari park reveals a hidden passion. As Mum adores big cats and Dad marvels at zebras, clues hint at the boy's secret obsession. What could it be? Discover the unexpected fascination that brings laughter and surprise to this colorful family tale.
From the publisher
Mum is crazy about spots - spotty clothes, spotty wallpaper, spotty games like dominoes; Dad loves stripes - stripy suits and stripy ties, stripy humbug sweets. No wonder they make their son laugh - mind you, they think that he’s funny in his grey patternless clothes!
