Description

Pigs don't have stripes -- zebras do! Each question -- and part of an animal -- are shown on one double-page spread. When readers turn the page, they see the whole animal and the answer to the question. Preschoolers can show off their newly acquired knowledge of animals in this intriguing guessing game.
