Bookroo's summary

Zee the Zebra is determined to prove he's brave enough for scary movies. When his parents refuse to let him watch, he concocts a ghostly plan to spook them. But when his disguise works too well, Zee finds himself in a surprising situation. Can he convince his frightened parents it's just him under the sheet? This playful tale of mischief and mistaken identity will delight young readers as Zee learns that sometimes, plans don't go as expected.

From the publisher

Zee is furious. His parents are watching a scary movie on TV, but he isn’t allowed to join them. His father says he would have nightmares. Zee is sure he wouldn’t, and he has a plan to show his parents just who is scared–he’ll dress up as a ghost! But things don’t quite turn out as planned. Zee’s mother and father are so frightened that they don’t seem to recognize Zee under his sheet! This charming, not-too-scary “ghost” story featuring a little zebra with a big personality and his affectionate parents is sure to delight all young children and their families.
