Poor Giraffe is feeling left out. His long neck keeps him far, far away from the action. The other animals on the jungle floor can barely hear his distant voice, and when they're up in the trees, Giraffe startles them with his big head. But when the river bursts its banks and only the monkeys and the birds can climb or fly to safety, it's time to forget old prejudices and work together. An endearing tale with an important lesson.
