Giraffe Asks for Help

  • Interest Level: Kindergarten - Grade 3
  • Reading Level: Grade 3

Gary Giraffe is so excited to finally turn six—now he should be able to reach the acacia leaves all on his own!

When things don’t go exactly as he’d planned, Gary is distraught. He tries and tries to get to the leaves himself, but he’s just not tall enough. The other giraffes can do it—why can’t he? Gary doesn’t want to have to ask for help, but his friends convince him that everyone needs help sometimes. And that’s okay! Included is a Note to Parents and Caregivers with more information on help-seeking and independence in children.

“Gary Giraffe learns to ask for help even when he feels the task is something he should be able to do alone . . . explains how important it is that children acquire the skill of asking for help and how parents can help accomplish this.”—Kirkus Reviews
