A Head Above the Rest: The Long and Short of It

A Head Above The Rest - The long and short of it

A Head Above The Rest - The long and short of it is not a typical book on giraffes. This nonfiction picture book

brings giraffes to life with an exceptional blend of informative text and captivating photographs never

seen before. It takes readers on a journey from birth through family life, the food they eat, and the unique

characteristics of giraffes. These photographs were taken in the wilds of Africa, but giraffes can also be seen in

many local zoos worldwide, where they live in captivity.
