This is a beautiful, poignant, story about a child who excitedly visits the Zoo, and who quite unexpectedly becomes the object of a song sung by one of the Zoo's wise elders - a giraffe. The giraffe shares its insights on what is happening to the earth (from the earth's point of view), and what the people of the earth could do to help save the homes of wild things everywhere.
On the CD, which comes with the book (which is suitable for fine coloring by all ages), is sung the entire giraffe's story. Several Appendices to the story cover specific ways we can help the earth and also help change the nature of Zoos.
One Appendix in particular describes the SCHOOLS/ZOOS PROJECT which offers some unique insights into ways children can develop intimate relationships with the earth and give back to the earth through a regular series of visits to their local Zoo or Aquarium.
