Customer Reviews

"Tall Blondes" gives a rush to the giraffe lover.

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!

A marvelous work of art.

This book contains the most captivating journey through the history and lives of giraffes that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. As a giraffophile myself, I was amazed at the extent of new, fascinating information contained within each page. It has wonderful illustrations that complement and enhance the reading. "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.

Wonderful book!!!

This was one of the best books that I have read recently. It was a page turning, making you cry and laugh out loud! It's easy to understand why people for centuries have been in awe of the great giraffe. But be prepared once you finish this book, to jet off to Africa so you can meet these wonderful creatures in person!

If you love giraffes, you will adore this book!

I have loved the gentle giraffe since I was a small child, so naturally I was thrilled when I found out about this book. Never have I read such a captivating book such as this one! Even if you do not love the giraffe, you will love this book! It is a must read for any nature lover!

A Must Have for Giraffe Lovers!
