Bookroo's summary

Giraffes are known for their long necks and patterned coats. This early nonfiction book explains how their great height helps them reach the leaves they love, how their long legs let them run and kick to escape lions and crocodiles, and how they survive on the African grasslands.

From the publisher

Giraffes, with their brown and white markings and extremely long necks, are one of the most recognizable animals. Their incredible height helps them reach their favorite food, which are leaves. Their longs legs also help them run and kick, which are two ways they protect themselves from enemies such as lions and crocodiles. This book shares interesting giraffe facts and explains how these graceful creatures survive in the grasslands.
