Reviews

"Dapper zebra is far too dignified to follow his friends' advice for getting rid of his hiccups...But when the hiccups somehow move his stripes into just a few broad bands, he decides to try their embarrassing remedies...The hiccups finally vanish after Zebra's friends douse him in cold water--causing a sneeze that reconstitutes his stripes...The subject is of perennial interest, and its lighthearted treatment here is sure to tickle funny bones--especially with the help of McKee's rich, bright colors, bold designs, and amusingly caricatured animals."
