At the zoo, Leopold the giraffe is king. Everyone adores the gentle
giant. He fills visitors with excitement and wonder. In return, he is
feed yummy snacks. However, one day, giraffe-shaped balloon tries to
overtake Leopold's territory and snacks. How far will Leopold go to
prevent his spotlight from being stolen?
The picture book
was a fun and delightful read. The story shows how when can compete to
win affection (for this story) just by doing the right thing. The
storyline at first was a bit hard to decipher at first, especially to
young tots I read the story too. However, they liked the drawings and
silly antics Leopold did.
