Katie is 10 and, one day, on a school trip, she found a stone in her lunch box. But this is not just any old stone we’re talking about. It’s bright green. It glows. And it writes messages to her. This glow-stone, as she has named it, has changed Katie’s life forever. With it’s help and guidance, Katie has helped lots of animals, big and small, scary and cute, to get themselves out of trouble. Animals may be stuck up a tree. They may be bullied. They may be too cold. Some may just be lost or have run out of money (yes, animals do use money!). In Katie’s first adventure, a giraffe is desperate for Katie’s help. The giraffe is terrified of heights and is being dreadfully teased by his cruel brothers and sisters. Katie is magically transported by her glow-stone to Africa, where she teaches the bullies a lesson they won’t forget!

Their extraordinary long necks, distinctive camouflage, graceful movements, and friendly nature have made giraffes one of the most fascinating and beloved animals on the planet. But while giraffes once roamed the Great Plains of Africa in huge herds, their numbers have greatly diminished, and they are now entirely dependent on humanity for their survival. In Giraffe, Edgar Williams explores not only the biology of the tallest animals on earth, but also their impact on human history—including in ancient Egypt, where giraffes were kept as exotic pets; the Middle Ages, when giraffes were considered mythical beasts as improbable and mysterious as the dragon; and the Victorian era, in which giraffe hunting was considered an exhilarating sport. Giraffe is the first book to provide a comprehensive, twenty-first-century view of the giraffe in art, literature, film, and popular culture, as well as its natural history from prehistory to modern times. With new insights into the giraffe’s genetics and evolution, this book will appeal to those interested in the giraffe’s unique biology and to anyone who admires the majestic giraffe.
