Being able to state your opinion and beliefs and trying to prove them is an ability that even most adults lack. The crooked city is the story of a zebra that believes everything is crooked in the city and nothing is straight; and although this puts him in trouble, he tells his opinion to every one of the citizens and even to the King. To teach self-confidence and critical thinking to children, this story can be of great help.
