What kinds of animals have stripes? And why do they have them? To hide more easily? To recognize one another? To warn enemies to stay away?
In Stripes of All Types, young readers will learn that animals have stripes for all these reasons…and more.
Engaging rhymes and bright, bold images will keep readers entertained, while a glossary at the back will provide information on each featured animal. A fun matching game at the end will test children’s knowledge of animal stripes!
