The Lonely Giraffe

The Lonely Giraffe

by Michael Terry (Illustrator), Michael Terry (Illustrator), Peter Blight (Author)

Synopsis

Poor giraffe is feeling left out. His long neck means that he's just too far away from the action. The other animals on the jungle floor can barely hear his distant voice, and when they are up in the trees, the giraffe startles them with his big head so high off the ground. But when the river bursts its banks and only the monkeys and the birds can climb or fly to safety, it's time to forget old prejudices and work together.
