"Readers will applaud the Monty Python-esque exploits of this hoofed
hero." -- Kirkus Reviews
Captured by Romans, Julius Zebra -- along with Milus the scarred lion
and Cornelius the clueless warthog -- is transported from a smelly water
hole on the African savanna to the ferocious clamor of the Colosseum,
where the motley menagerie of friends must gear up to be . . .
gladiators! Do they have what it takes to succeed in a world where
only the meanest and toughest survive? Follow the madcap adventures of
Julius and his pals through funny, irreverent text and zany
cartoon-style illustrations, with an illustrated guide to Roman numerals
and a handy glossary at the end.
