• others say 'love it...' ...'cute'....etc 

Delightful and funny first book in a series of young childrens books The Safari Children's Books on Good Behavior that suggest good ways to behave and why!

Using safari animal stories, children can enjoy the pictures and words and learn at the same time about good behavior. 

This time, Gerry the Giraffe realises it is an act of greatness to share rather than to be greedy. 
A great tool for parents finding sharing between siblings a problem! Great as a bedtime story or for nursery education. For ages 3 to 7.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great idea for a book!!! February 21, 2012

By Peter Myers

Format:Paperback

In a world of "moral ambiguitites", with heads of state showing feet of clay, it becomes vital to instill some moral fiber in kids at a young age, before a severely morally challenged environment affects them. This book does that eminently, from the standpoint of sharing. Well done, Cressida. Let's have more of these on other subjects.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'The Magic of Sharing' December 29, 2012

By Grady Harp HALL OF FAMETOP 50 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

It is so refreshing to come upon children's books that are not only entertaining and well illustrated, guaranteeing that children will love reading the book or having it read to them, but that also carry intelligent messages and language that in many ways honors the minds of youngsters.

Such is definitely the case with this book by Cressida Elias. Out in her Safari Land we meet brother giraffes Gerry and George. The day is hot and they are deserted by their friends. Thirst becomes evident and the brothers decide to search for water in opposite directions - the agreed upon condition that when one brother finds water he will signal the other. Gerry soon discovers water but in his thirst he drinks it all before signaling George: the pond is dry. Gerry sees he has not shared and carries George on his back until he finds another water source for his brother. And when the hunt is successful George drinks but shares with his protective and embarrassed brother. `Making someone else happy makes you feel stronger and more powerful!' is the moral to this little tale. Beautifully told and illustrated, this is a winner of a book for children. Grady Harp December 12
