Giraffe's being my favourite animal, I was drawn to this book by it's cover. It's simply beautiful. Full of colour and such beautiful illustrations, I like the zoomed in details and the information and facts are brilliant. I think this book will be even more beautiful in real life. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this amazing book.

This is one of the cutest nonfiction books for children that I have read in a while! I can’t wait to share with my mom who is an elementary school librarian. I know her students will love this!

What an incredible book! I was hooked straight in by the gorgeous, highly-detailed illustrations which bring the content to life. I loved being able to see images at their real size and zoomed in for a really detailed view. My favourite pages were the ones about the owls.
This will be a fantastic addition to our bookshelf.
