Zube and the GIANT Storm is a picture book that I would say is aimed at younger children. The pictures that accompany the text are child-like and I think that this would make children connect with them as something they might draw. The illustrations depict what is happening in each chapter which allows children who aren’t yet independent readers to follow along with the story easily.
Zube is a very unique Zebra, he has a distinctive single red stripe down the centre of his body which makes him stand out and allows everyone to see everything he does. Zube’s boredom and curiosity drive the story as he sets out to discover how other animals spend their time, and what happens in their world.
The many different animals that Zube meets have different names that I think would make younger children giggle - Big Squirt, Little Squirt, Littler Squirt and Littlest Squirt (a family of Elephants), Peckerpants, Wrigglesquiggle and Ponko. The various animals serve as guides for Zube throughout his journey.
As a giant storm approaches the animals must work together in order to prevent a disaster.
I think that Zube and The GIANT Storm is a really interesting story. I think that there are a lot of key themes that are great for children’s books such as working together and empathy. I also think that the messages in this book will help to teach children about animals, growing up, trying something new and learning when to be safe when danger appears.
Far, far away on a vast grassy plain lives an unusual young Zebra called Zube.
