Summary: This book is a hoot!
Review: As a Clinical Massage Therapist (for both humans and non), and the only captive/agressive (animal) TTouch practitioner in my state, I do a lot of volunteer work at my local Zoological park. I'm never quite sure what I'll be working on when I go out, so I like to pick up info on various animals when I can and just read ahead. When I placed my order, I was looking for a little more scientific data, but even without the clinical research I was most pleased with what showed up at my door! Ms. Sherr's sincere passion for the creature is evident on every page, and the book itself is simply a pleasure to hold and read. It has a nicely designed slick cover and the binding is top-notch. This book will last for ages if taken care of, but as appealing as the images have been to my daugher, I have to keep a close eye on it. There are interesting facts, and some fiction is dispelled. There's tons of history and beautiful pix on every page. No, the book is not the end-all be-all of information, but it is well worth the price, and there are even a few used ones for sale above (though not mine. . . you can't have it. . . just back awaaaaay from the book.) I highly recommend this book for anyone with a passing interest or even a non-veterinary passion for the animal!

Summary: Big Disappointment
Review: I was looking for a scientific book about giraffes and at the time this was all I could find so I purchased it. The book contains wonderful pictures otherwise I would give it zero stars. The book has almost no scientific information and is filled with a lot of irrelevant and dull quotes about giraffes (made by historical figures) , along with other cutesy stuff. AND I still have not found a current scientific/field study type book about giraffes!! This book might be good to read to the kids.

Summary: "Tall Blondes" gives a rush to the giraffe lover.
Review: The personality of the giraffe is seen throughout this book. I wish humans could learn from the giraffe's peace in his world, the eye contact, the sharing, the adaption to the world as it is. Lynn Sherr has had the best opportunity in the world. All I want to know is "Can I go to Nairobi and pet the giraffes too? Excellant Book. You will love it!

"Tall Blondes" is a must-have for every giraffe lover; it's a graceful, distinctive work that is truly deserving of its unique subject matter.

Summary: Wonderful illustrations
Review: This book is full of wonderful illustrations, quick history and quick scientific overviews. It is LONG on liberal politics (the author is a left coast journalist). I recommend this book to Democrats and independent liberals. Conservatives will find it intrusively annoying. As for recommending it to giraffe fans, as I am, it's not worth the purchase, but then, there is precious little available in print for giraffe fans.
