Synopsis

Mum adores spots, from her clothes to the wallpaper, while Dad is all about stripes, with his stripy suits and ties. Their son finds their obsessions amusing, especially since they think his plain grey outfits are odd. On a trip to the safari park, Mum is thrilled by the big cats, and Dad is captivated by the zebras. But what animal does their son love? A delightful story filled with patterns and surprises, leading to a charming revelation about the boy's favourite animal.
