Reviews

[Shannon K]

This book is beautiful! The illustrations are life like and breath taking. It is loaded with giraffe facts and information. On the two last pages of the book there is a learn more section which lists other childrens books about giraffes so the reader can learn more. It gives a map of the world and shows which continent giraffes live on. It also gives you a list of other books in the Wild Animal Grows Up series. Most children love learning about animals so those resources at the back of the book are great for helping adults to find more books like this one.
