West With Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge

4.0

The audiobook reader was great and the story was sweet. A historical fiction with Woody, a 17-year old orphan from the dust bowl, talking his way into the drivers seat of a trailer taking 2 giraffes, Girl and Boy, west to the San Diego zoo with the Old Man and his crush, Red. All wrapped into a heart-felt tale as Woody is coming to the end of his life but must get the story down so it’s passed on to someone that needs to know it. An adventure of friendship, love, loss, and so much of the history of the time. Just an enjoyable read.
