Nice sentence! Here are a few correct ways to write it and a short, simple explanation.

  • Simple: The tiger's fur is striped, and its skin is striped too.
  • More natural with surprise: The tiger's fur is striped, and, surprisingly, its skin is striped as well.
  • Short: The tiger's fur and skin are both striped.

Why change it?

  • Using the word "surprise:" with a colon is a bit odd in this sentence. "Surprisingly" (with commas around it) sounds natural: it shows you are surprised.
  • "Too" and "as well" mean the same thing. "Too" is shorter and easier for kids.
  • You can also make the sentence shorter by saying "fur and skin are both striped."
