Through stories of five giraffes, this book provides abundant information about behavior, anatomy, evolution, and endangered status. From Lmara, living free on a reserve in Kenya, to Msitu, living in a Colorado zoo, Dagg provides a critical but balanced view of life in the wild versus captivity. Nearly every page features highly detailed photos. Suggested activities for young "giraffe guardians" are appended. Bib., glos., ind.
