Baby Giraffe's Trip to the Watering Hole

This book is about a giraffe who decides to make a trip to the watering hole. And along his journey he sees his many friends, the first was the rhino, the elephant next, the zebra, his friend the baby lion cub, baby monkey, baby wildebeest and his friend the cheetah. All his friends marched across the plains to arrive at the watering hole where they had fun.
 
I found this book to be particularly interesting as the illustrations are so bright  and very colourful. This would capture the students attention especially those within the early years.
 
 
 
                                             
 
 
 
Each page contains short sentences, colourful and detailed pictures. This book would be ideal for students in the lower primary years, reception to year two. It would be ideal for students to read this as part of their guided or silent reading program. The vocabulary is ideal for students in the lower years however this would have to be further looked at when including this book as part of students guided reading programs.
