Giraffe Reflections

i am told it is a wonderful book for giraffe enthusiasts.

This is a wonderful book in general but especially for anyone who is enamored with these exceptional creatures. It is will written, has lots of information and great pictures. Ought to be in every animal lovers collection. The "reflections" are timely at anytime.

This book has a thoughtful and clever arrangement of pictures and text. It dwells on the history of the knowledge about giraffes for half of the book before finally getting to some anatomy, physiology, and behavior information. It is not comprehensive, as the book jacket states. Some of the photographs are quite beautiful, but some have obviously been chosen to illustrate the text and are of lesser quality. Overall, I enjoyed this book about my favorite mammal, the giraffe.

Love the book. Ordered it for a friend. What I didn’t like was there was no cover on the book It had nothing. I thought it would b the cover shown with the mother and baby giraffe. Big time disappointed it wasn’t since this is a gift for a dear friend who loves giraffes.

Very informative book enjoyed it

I SENT THIS TO MY 10 YEAR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER. I HAVE NOT HEARD HOW SHE LIKES IT, HOWEVER HER MOM TELLS ME SHE THINKS SHE IS GOING TO ENJOY IT & SINCE SHE HAS TOLD MOM & DAD SHE WANTS TO BE A "VET" WHEN SHE GROWS UP, THIS SEEMED TO BE AN IDEAL BOOK FOR HER. IT GOT RAVE REVIEWS WHICH CAUSED IT TO CATCH MY EYE.

I bought this book for my teenage granddaughter who is crazy about giraffes. She will probably not read it from cover to cover but she loved it. The pictures are wonderful and it's very interesting even if you just want to use it as reference. I hightly recommemd it to anyone who loves giraffes even if you're not an avid reader.

I was just looking at the book and tried to see what was inside when MISTAKENLY it was ordered. I immediately canceled the order but it was sent and I was charged for it anyway. I have refused it and returned it. I EXPECT to be credited for it. I am apprehensive to try to take a look at a book like this again.

I'm an animal lover and I own countless books about nature and wildlife. Giraffes have always been one of my favourite animals and I decided to treat myself to this book. I wanted to learn more about giraffes but a huge amount of the book was devoted to the history of the knowledge of giraffes which I just wasn't interested in. I started to read the book but it just became a chore. There are pages and pages of text without photographs or headings to break it up. The photographs are nice but there are no captions to say what type of giraffe you are looking at or where it comes from. I also think that the quality of the pictures are pretty poor in comparison to other wildlife books that I've bought. I'm really disappointed in my purchase.

Great book - so hard to find a definitive book on giraffes

Beautiful book well worth buying

This is the most beautiful book and belongs on your coffee table for everyone to see...something you would keep forever. I bought it for a gift and she just couldn't say enough about it. Pictures are breathtaking better than National Geographic!! So informative...I had no idea there was so much to learn about these gentle giants. The price was unreal for the type of book that it is...well worth it! I'm sure the book on the Elephants is just as breathtaking. Anyone looking for a different gift for someone should really check this out or if you are an animal lover you can't go wrong! I think I will buy the Elephant one for myself. If you could give this book a 10 star I would!

Excellent
