Snatched from an African watering hole, Julius and his friends Milus the lion and Cornelius the warthog are hurled into gladiatorial combat in Rome, then swept into chaos across Britain, Egypt, and Greece. Packed with slapstick humor, cartoon-style illustrations, and solid historical detail, the series has won over reluctant readers and history buffs alike. This paperback set also includes the bonus Joke Book Jamboree, adding even more puns and giggles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGary Northfield's Julius Zebra books turn ancient history into slapstick comedy, collecting the four core adventures plus a bonus joke book. Julius, a zebra who hates being called a \"stripy horse,\" is captured on the savanna and shipped to Rome to fight as a gladiator alongside Milus the lion and Cornelius the warthog. Their misadventures sprawl across the Mediterranean: a rowdy trip to Britain, a shipwreck in Egypt that gets Julius mistaken for a horse-god, and a journey into Greek myth full of monsters. Each book stands alone, so new readers can jump in anywhere. Northfield's scribbly cartoon art keeps the pace fast while real historical detail slips in unnoticed. The Joke Book Jamboree rounds out a giggle-filled crash course in ancient history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete 5-book set with all four Julius Zebra novels plus the bonus Joke Book Jamboree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlapstick humor and cartoon-style art hook reluctant readers and history fans alike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal details about Rome, Britain, Egypt, and Greece are woven into the comedy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast-paced chapters are great for independent reading or family read-aloud time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback set makes a great gift for birthdays, holidays, or classrooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandalone stories let kids start with any title and still follow the fun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBook-by-Book Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJulius Zebra: Rumble with the Romans! — Julius is captured on the savanna and forced into gladiator training in ancient Rome.\u003cbr\u003e\nJulius Zebra: Bundle with the Britons! — The gang crosses into ancient Britain, clashing with tribal chiefs and Roman soldiers.\u003cbr\u003e\nJulius Zebra: Entangled with the Egyptians! — Shipwrecked on the Nile, Julius is mistaken for a sacred horse-god.\u003cbr\u003e\nJulius Zebra: Grapple with the Greeks! — Julius and friends journey into Greek myth, facing monsters and a labyrinth.\u003cbr\u003e\nJulius Zebra Joke Book Jamboree! — A joke-packed companion built around the Julius Zebra world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGary Northfield is a British cartoonist and author known for the Julius Zebra series, following a wisecracking zebra through the ancient world.
