Okapi Loves His Zebra Pants (Endangered and Misunderstood Animals)

The only story book I could find with an Okapi in it. It was a thrill for the child to see this wonderfully illustrated book. It has a sweet and teachable tale but has many details which will be understandable as their knowledge expands.

Okapi Loves his Zebra PantsBy Terri TatchellA charming rhyming book about an Okapi that is told his legs look like he is wearing zebra pants. He goes off with Grey the parrot to find zebras. He meets another animals along the way. Cute story and wonderful artwork!The proceeds go to the Okapi Conservation!

The story is really cute. The print is really poor quality though... the second half of the book is all wrinkled.It's disappointing... but at least all the proceeds go to okapi conversation so if they're making more on this book it's going to a good cause anyway.

Good accurate information for a budding zoologist like my 7 year old grandson. The fun facts and drawing lesson are a nice addition to the book.

My Grandson is a very big fan of Okapis'.

I bought the set of 5 books for a gift. He’s 4 years old and I know he will love them.

Not a well-known animal, but it should be. This book is informational and sweet. Kids learn about the Okapi and how it feels when people make fun of someone. I especially liked that the lesson was not taught in a sappy way. It showed realistic youngster behavior.

Here is an opportunity For listeners and readers To learn That it is OK To be different. With the help of a true friend The okapi Learns a lesson To have more faith Himself Then listening to those who want to put him down.

The media could not be loaded. GORGEOUS book with facts about the animals at the end! Good quality too, the colors really pop. I got this for my 6 year old son for bedtime reading, but his little brother (2yrs old) seems to enjoy it more! He keeps pointing at Okapi's 'pants', and saying ZEBRA. Such a funny book with an important lesson, and it highlights endangered animals! (all the profits go to saving Okapi's too!). Don't even think about it, buy this book!!

My son loves it and many others in this series

The book is about self-acceptance and also about endangered species and plain simple friendship. Lovely rhythmic story and beautiful illustrations. Enjoyed reading it.

I’m a big fan of the first two stories in the series and was so excited to read book 3. Terri and Ivan hit another one out of the park. The story is heart warming and the illustrations captivating. This is a must read for teachers/educators of kids aged 3-9 and perfect for classroom learning about themes like self-acceptance, resilience and appreciating our differences. I think everyone old and young can learn something from this story.

Liked the reviews and summary storyline. Gentle and cute.
