Publisher's Synopsis

You see, there was a time when Giraffe didn't have a long neck. She had short legs, short horns and a very short, stumpy neck. She was also a very fussy eater . . . So what do you think happened when she tried to get some honey from deep inside the tree?

Brilliantly colourful Tingatinga artwork tells the story of Giraffe's transformation from a stumpy necked beast with short legs into her elegant Tinga Tinga persona. Featuring the colourful cast of Tinga Tinga animals and glorious Tingatinga-inspired artwork.
