‘A writer of boundless gifts and extraordinary imaginative power’ - Observer
Mink doesn’t believe in rules. She loves running wild and free. So, when a zebra appears in the square where she lives and she finds out that his parents have been captured by the evil Mr Spit, she knows that it’s up to her to help.
So begins a grand adventure to rescue a whole menagerie of animals - an adventure that will take all of Mink’s courage and determination.
Written with generous helpings of warmth and humour, this is a timeless picture book about bravery, friendship and the importance of taking action. With stunning illustrations by award-winning illustrator Sara Ogilvie, illustrator of The Detective Dog, this modern classic from bestselling children’s author Katherine Rundell is an unmissable treat.
Review
Athina Clarke
From the moment our feisty protagonist, Mink, responds to the desperate cry for help from a little zebra (whose parents have been abducted) the reader knows they’re in for a wildly exuberant adventure of daring and rescue! Fiercely determined and quick-witted, Mink understands the importance of taking action when someone asks for help, and recruits help from animals and birds far and wide to aid in the search.
Katherine Rundell’s marvellous tale of friendship, courage and resolve is told with warmth and compassion. Its playful, energetic humour complements the glorious full-colour illustrations, and all young readers will revel in the story’s satisfying conclusion when the evil villain gets his comeuppance!
A gorgeous book for every family library, The Zebra’s Great Escape is highly recommended as a read-aloud story for children ages 4 and up. Independent readers ages 7 and up will also take great enjoyment from this fun adventure.
