PreS -A young giraffe living on the African savannah is afraid of heights. On his way to the doctor for a remedy, he encounters a monkey afraid to climb trees and a hippo scared of water. When a crocodile intimidates the three new friends, they put their fears aside in order to help one another against the common threat. After vanquishing the enemy, they realize that they don -t need the doctor because they -ve cured themselves. Watercolor illustrations done predominantly in tans, blues, and greens have unusual perspectives, often showing only parts of the animals. The story lacks logic; if the giraffe -s parents are so worried about lions hurting their child since he can -t raise his head to watch for danger, why do they send him to the doctor alone? Also, it seems odd to put coconut trees on the savannah and then explain in the back matter that they don -t grow there." -Maryann H. Owen, Racine Public Library, WI"
