La Jirafa Y 4 Cuentos Ms

THE GIRAFFE AND 4 MORE STORIES (The Zebra, The Camel, Monkeys and More Monkeys, Seals and Walruses). Through the art of personification, these animals talk about their experiences in their natural habitats and their transition to a zoo where they now live as captives, and about their relationships with humans. Some describe how they lived before being captured, and the assumption is that they were captured to be sold to zoos in various parts of the world, and to pair them up with other similar animals that were already confined. Personification of these animals is effective because we can see both the physical and emotional harm. They are first person witnesses when they see their parents, brothers, sisters, and friends' hardships to defend themselves from being captured and transported to unknown places far from their families.
