4-6Julius Zebra series.
Julius the zebra and other African animals are kidnapped and brought to Rome. Rather than be slaughtered in the Colosseum, they choose to fight as gladiators themselves. Suspension of disbelief is a must, but it won't be difficult to achieve: this irreverent, high-energy story is filled with action and humor, with each page punctuated by goofy, frenetic illustrations.
