The Story of Giraffe

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Guido Pigni. Noah tells Giraffe that he must find a mate to bring on the ark: "We need a pair. That's how it must be." Giraffe fails in his quest but, in an illogical twist, finds a female giraffe already on the ark. The book's simple, pleasing illustrations are deep with somber colors but also include humorous details and unusual visual angles.
