“Readers will applaud the Monty Python-esque exploits of this hoofed hero.” – Kirkus Reviews Captured by Romans, Julius Zebra – along with Milus the scarred lion and Cornelius the clueless warthog – is transported from a smelly water hole on the African savanna to the ferocious clamor of the Colosseum, where the motley menagerie of friends must gear up to be . . . gladiators!
