The giraffe is known as the "skyscraper of the veldt," the African plain, growing to over 18 feet with a neck seven feet long! This wonderful little book lets youngsters read about the giraffe and 11 other animals that live on the African continent. Children will find a page of text describing distinguishing characteristics of the ostrich, lion, cheetah, elephant, hippopotamus, zebra, gorilla, and many other species, and a space on each page to apply an accurately rendered full-color sticker illustration of the animal described. It's a safari of fun and learning young explorers will love!
