This book would be a great way to start help students understand that there are animals all over the world and those animals adapt to their environment to meet their needs. You can tie the reading into local animals and how giraffes are different from Manitoban animals.
There is also the opportunity to read a second book that is of a Manitoba animal and comparing the two animals. Students can start to make connections to what they already know about local animals and what they have learned about giraffes. Help the students look for similarities and differences.
