## Description

Inspired by traditional animal stories from Africa, find out WHY Giraffe has a long neck. Once upon a time, Giraffe's neck was quite short.

Written by the award-winning Ken Wilson-Max and illustrated by Tumi Steyn. Other titles in the African Stories series: Once Upon a Lion, Once Upon a Zebra, Once Upon an Elephant and Once Upon a Hippo.
