Edward the giraffe can’t understand why his neck is as long and as bendy and as ridiculous as it is. No other animal he knows has a neck this absurd. He’s tried disguising it, dressing it up, strategically hiding it behind bushes... anything he can think of.

But when Edward has exhausted his neck-hiding options, a turtle with a craving ambles in and tries to help the poor giraffe understand his neck has a purpose.

It's a bit problematic, but it does encourage loving ones neck, and friendship. With some minor edits in the reading I'm cool with that.

I identify with neck problems, and I loved the relationship between the giraffe and the turtle. It was a great follow-up to Penguin Problems!
