Characteristics about the giraffe are presented in simple text, with 2-3 sentences per page.  Color photographs are well chosen to illustrate each fact.  One will learn about giraffe necks, what they eat and how, the spots, knobs on their heads, speed and where they live.  Details are very appropriate for young readers wanting to know more about the giraffe or creating a report.  Other books in this series are: elephant, manatee, panda, sea turtle, and shale shark.  Based on Giraffe, this series appears to be a good addition to an elementary library.
