Synopsis
"A smart giraffe thinks up a clever plan to reach the greener grass across the moat's ditch. By spreading his front legs in a widespread V, he can make his neck a bridge to reach the grass. Looking on are giraffe's three bird friends---the oxpecker tick bird(Peck), the lappet-faced vulture(Vulch) and the gold crowned crane(Crown).
The charm of this children's story is the example of the giraffe's self reliance and belief in himself. The three birds that are supposed to be displayed with the giraffe at the zoo add exciting interest.
Since the background to the illustrations depict the Sedwick County Zoo at Wichita, Kansas, it immortalizes the Sedgwick County Zoo.
Musical, "stretching" vocabulary stimulates imagination and readability for children."
