Z is for Zebra: A Zany and Zealous Phonics Reading

Z is for Zebra​

About this Story

Hey alphabet adventurers! 🌟 Get ready to zigzag through Z is for Zebra—the zippiest book in the ABC animal series. Illustrated by Livi Gosling (who also did M is for Monkey!), this one’s a crowd-pleaser for tiny learners.

Gosling’s bold, graphic-style art turns zebras into striped superstars—watch one gallop across the savanna! Kids master the /z/ sound by buzzing like bees (“zzzebra!”) and giggling at quirky words like “zigzag” and “pizzazz.” Teacher hack: Have kids trace Z-shaped stripes in the air while reading!

Fun fact: No two zebras have the same stripe pattern—just like fingerprints! The book sneakily weaves in cool tidbits like this. Pair it with X is for X-Ray Fish or Chrysanthemum by Kevin Henkes for a black-and-white themed storytime.

Psst… Librarians adore the “Z Sound Hunt” page where kids find hidden /z/ words. And if your mini-me obsesses over zebras, grab Gosling’s Wild ABC poster for bedroom wall magic.
