West With Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge

5.0

A fun adventure of getting two giraffes across the country during the Dust Bowl era, the beginning of WWII, and lots of hardship along the way. Some similarities to Water for Elephants, but this is based on a true and remarkable story of giraffes who really did survive sailing through a hurricane and a cross country trek in a glorified pick up truck to San Diego. It was an interesting lens to share what would otherwise have been a very depressing Dust Bowl story.
