Written in verse, The Lost Giraffe

tells the story of a young giraffe who is attacked by lions. He falls into a river, and is swept away. On his quest to rejoin his herd, he meets a number of different animals, some nice, some quirky, and some dangerous. He makes friends with a baby elephant and a young hippo, outwits a sneaky crocodile, and helps a confused water buffalo. He and his friends fight off a pack of hyenas. Finally, a helpful bushbaby leads him to his herd and a joyful reunion.
