Critics Review
Praise for Giraffe Math:
A CBC-NSTA Best STEM Book
A CBC Librarian Favorite
“An interesting combination of information about giraffes and mathematical connections to this majestic animal. Twiga the giraffe guides readers through different giraffe facts starting with height and weight using U.S. measuring standards (feet, inches, pounds) and making connections between the tallest land animal and an average third grader along with other animals…. Giraffes are truly amazing creatures and the math connections in this work are interesting and well presented.”–School Library Journal
