BR 2-14: The Little Giraffe (Lesley, 2007)

"Now you can reach the leaves high in the trees, said the wise man."(p.17)

I read "The Little Giraffe". This book is easy level and it has only 195 words. This is story of the first giraffe in the world and rhino. The giraffe and rhino lived in East Africa. First giraffe had just short neck, so he couldn't find much food. Giraffe and rhino had to look for their foods every time. Then the two animals visited a wise man that lives near village. Giraffe and rhino requested to help them, and the man promised to provide magical drink next day. However next day, only giraffe came to the man's house, and before rhino comes giraffe drunk all of the magical drink! At least, giraffe's neck grew up. So now giraffes have long long neck! Of course this is fiction, and it is interesting story.

I like giraffe, because it has so long eye lush and big eyes, and so cute. In the fact, the reason why they have so long eye lush, they have to protect their eyeball from branch and leaves. However I don’t know why their tongue is blue!
