Illustrated by
Mike Wohnoutka.
Young giraffe Twiga's mother urges him to "stay close, stay safe"--"but Twiga is so curious." He strays from his mother's watchful side to explore the alluring African landscape. Warm-colored illustrations convey the flora and fauna of a giraffe's habitat. It's more a sweet tale of parental care than a depiction of the species' curious nature, as the appended author's note suggests.
