A Giraffe Called Stretch

Stretch was a huge, playful, gangly, hungry young giraffe! But he was also nosy, inquisitive, curious and adventurous…his big long neck enabled him to put his nose into places it maybe shouldn’t be put.

He lived in a big safari park in South Africa, and every time he strolled past the Lodge kitchen, Stretch could smell delicious smells coming his way! Even though he knew he shouldn’t put his nose into other people’s business, Stretch just couldn’t help but find a way.

Find out what happens next. What kind of trouble does Stretch get into in the kitchen?

Join Stretch to learn about being nosy.

With four children under five, living on a small farm near Melbourne, the author respected the need for their careful education and sensible discipline and told them stories, based on farm and wild animals, that would impart to them life lessons for their paths ahead!

With the passage of time, some twenty-five plus years, these stories have now been put down in writing and published for children everywhere who will face similar challenges and choices in their own lives that the author’s children successfully met in theirs.
