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.
After studying at the Harrow School of Art and the Royal College of Art, Melanie Walsh worked as a textile designer before writing and illustrating children's books. In addition to receiving many fine reviews, she won the Parents Choice Gold Award for Do Pigs Have Stripes? Melanie lives in London and has two young twin sons.
