In a simple rhyming text, Stockdale introduces nineteen different striped animals: "Stripes found in water, / sliding through weeds. / Drinking from rivers, / and darting through reeds." The sparse text captions large portraits of each creature; the engaging images are eye-catching if not very detailed. A concluding double-page spread provides species names with brief blurbs about how each benefits from its stripes. A matching game is appended.
