Sleepy-Eyed Zebra and Girl Puppet with Letter Z

A big outlined capital letter Z fills the upper right of the page, with a cartoon zebra standing in front of its lower left side. The zebra has droopy, half-closed eyes, a small smile, rounded ears, and a body covered in bold curved stripes. Its tail curls up near the bottom stroke of the Z. On the right, a smiling girl character with a bow in her hair and a short dress stands on the bottom bar of the letter, waving one hand. A few leaves rest near her feet. Try coloring the zebra's stripes in classic black and white with a bright background, or let kids pick a new color for each stripe. It also works well for practicing the Z sound, since children can say zebra and zoo while they color the big letter.
