 I love books about animals. I love learning about them and where they live. But this one is a bit different. It is about 50 specific animals. Like Zarafa. She was the first giraffe in France. Or Lonesome George who was the last tortoise on Pinta Island. Or one of my favorites, Alex, the parrot who learned to talk with humans. Read this book to learn about other remarkable animals.
