Gugu Giraffe: Goes Fishing

By Auralee Arkinsly

Book Overview

A highly recommended complement for the animal biology, plant life, weather, water, and geography curriculum in K-3rd grade.

This story splashes in observations of the Okavango Delta and fable-styled animal interactions in the river through fine storytelling and artwork.

It all begins on a dry Botswana day when young Gugu, a giraffe, announces he wants to go fishing.

Specifically, Gugu wants to know, "What is a fish?"

Matriarch Chidinma of the nearby elephant herd allows Gugu to join her parade lumbering to the Okavango River.

There, Gugu can board a mokoro tourist boat to see about fishing.

Adventure awaits Gugu as the matriarch elephant, a crocodile, a hippopotamus, and a cormorant explain why they could not possibly be a fish
