The Giraffe Who Was Afraid of Heights

32 pp. | Sylvan Dell | June, 2006 | Trade ISBN 0-9768823-0-2 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kirsten Carlson. This original fable demonstrates how a giraffe, monkey, and hippo, each of whom is afraid of something, band together to face a common threat--the crocodile--and in so doing overcome their individual fears. The palette of the gently humorous illustrations matches the African savanna setting. Information on animal adaptations, "fun facts," and several activities are included.
