Presents a children's book for early readers that describes the world of the plains zebra of Africa.

Stripes, an abandoned zebra living on a Kentucky horse farm, dreams of winning a prestigious thoroughbred horse race. With the support of his barnyard friends, Stripes trains with young jockey Channing and sets out for the winner's circle.

When Zebra accidentally steps on Lion's toe, Lion gets angry and begins chasing Zebra in what turns out to be a remarkable show.

"The Better Together series presents an introductory look at some of nature's most exciting cooperative pairs. Ostriches and Zebras explores the close mutualistic relationship between the two animals. Sidebars encourage readers to engage in the material by asking deeper questions or conducting individual research. Full color photos, a glossary, and a listing of additional resources all enhance the learning experience."--

Moose is terribly eager to play his part in Zebra's alphabet book, but when his letter passes him by, Moose behaves rather badly until Zebra finds a spot for him.
