What is Gerry the giraffe about?

At the Safari Park, Gerry the giraffe worries that his great height makes him different. In two lively rhyming stories, his long neck turns out to be his greatest strength. When the warden’s son goes missing, Gerry can see over the treetops and help find him. Later, his height helps him spot danger, rescue his animal friends from poachers and lead everyone safely home. With plenty of action, friendship and gentle humour, Gerry proves that being different can be a wonderful advantage.
