""Giraffe is the hero of this story, but like many learning something for the first time, he is uncertain what to do and a little shy. At basketball camp, he gradually learns to take things in his stride and also make friends. I really like this book.. Anita Vermeer has done a great job with this story, showing how we can overcome life's obstacles a bit at a time, taking us through the Giraffes initial awkwardness to final confidence in this story. The text is measured simply so early readers can manage the whole story without too much help, and will themselves find confidence through finishing this book to read for themselves how Giraffe overcome his worries to enjoying a game of basketball. Would recommend this book to any child who loves animal stories.. sports stories and is learning to read."" ""High thumbs up! This picture book is awesome for young readers. The sentences are simple and the pictures are fun and bright colored. The story is also about a ""child"" (a giraffe) learning about basketball for the first time, which is something young children do. But my favorite part of this story is that the child makes mistakes in understanding that readers can easily make and relate to. And for those kids who already know what one particular thing means, this book gives them a sense of empowerment--because they already know--and compassions, because they've been in the giraffe's shoes. Well done and highly recommended!""
