pleasure.
Striped Horses: The Story of a Zebra Family
By Betty Dedine
And
The Amish School.
By Rachael Sthal and Sara Fisher
Book Jackets below:
From the Book jacket:
This beautifully written nonfiction narrative, illustrated with handsome,
detailed drawings, tells the story of Zaccariah, a zebra stallion, and his
family. It follows Zaccariah from his battle- as a bachelor stallion-to win
a readymade family of his own, to his role as leader and defender of this
band of three mares and their young. It describes the zebras' lives in the
Nairobi National Park-the pattern of their days and nights, their
relationship to the land, the changing seasons and the other animals in the
park. It chronicles the birth and development of Zaccariah's first colt,
Zed, and the loss of his youngest mare, Zinnia, to another stallion, and it
dramatizes the zebra's perilous existence as a prey animal, constantly
threatened by such predators as lions, wild dogs, even man. Coming full
circle, with Zaccariah's original family group grown and changed and young
Zed now ready to join a bachelor band of his own, this unusual animal
biography is a lyrical, evocative, highly informative portrait of zebras-the
keen-eyed, swift-footed, striped wild horses of Africa.

Dog ownership is like a rainbow.
Puppies are the joy at one end.
Old dogs are the treasure at the other.
