I am writing a memoir and am trying desperately to identify a children’s picture book that would have been published around 1948 – 1953. It is a story about a little zebra that gets lost. The only vivid image of it I remember is the little zebra encountering a senior Zebra who was wearing reading glasses on his nose. The elderly zebra helps the little one find his mother (I think).
I do not remember the title except that I’m sure Zebra was in the title. It is a picture book.
“Baby Zebra and the Friendly Rhinoceros” by C E Kilbourne. There’s a 1943 edition currently for sale on Etsy, and one of the photos presented is of the older zebra with reading glasses.
