By Jodie Parachini, Daniel Rieley (Illustrator)
A serious book is disrupted by a playful Zebra and friends, sparking chaos and creativity.
In a world of strict black-and-white seriousness, Zebra and his lively friends crash the party with colorful antics. As the narrator struggles to maintain order, chaos ensues, inviting readers to join the fun. Will the book's seriousness survive, or will creativity reign supreme? Discover how a donkey's unexpected twist encourages young minds to write their own stories. This playful tale challenges the norms and celebrates imagination, leaving readers wondering: can a book be both serious and silly?
This is a very serious book. Nothing silly is allowed. There are no funny faces, no clowns, and definitely no shenanigans. A serious book is always respectful, and, of course, is always in black and white. But wait! Who’s this? Zebra might be black and white, but he is NOT serious. And he and his friends are ruining the book with their antics, parades, and parties! This funny and irreverent book that pits its narrator against its characters in a hilarious way invites reader participation and encourages kids to think about writing their own books and stories–just as donkey does here in the end. A joyful page-turner of a book that celebrates writing and creativity and will appeal to fans of The Book With No Pictures.
