On his way to serve his parents coffee in bed, Zee the zebra drops the tray, and there's only enough coffee left to fill his doll-size teacups. That doesn't keep Mama and Papa awake, but it does--amusingly--help Zee accomplish his goal: to climb in bed and snuggle between them. Gay's watercolors, with their simplified backgrounds and strategic touches of color, keep the focus on the characters.
