What happens when you mix the gladiatorial combat of ancient Rome with
a fast-talking creature who is DEFINITELY NOT A STRIPY HORSE?
From a smelly water hole on the African savanna, Julius Zebra is
captured, along with Milus the scarred lion and Cornelius the clueless
warthog. Transported to the ferocious clamor of the Colosseum, Julius
Zebra and his motley menagerie of friends must gear up to be . . .
gladiators! The only way they will gain their freedom is if they win
the love of the Roman crowds. But do they have what it takes to succeed
in a world where only the meanest and toughest survive? Follow the
madcap adventures of Julius Zebra and his pals in short chapters with
funny, irreverent text and zany cartoon-style illustrations, with an
illustrated guide to Roman numerals and a handy glossary at the end.
