Publisher's Synopsis
This is the fourth children's book written and illustrated by James C. Vincent; and although his original characters, Rita and Bubby, are not the main focus of the story, they do make a "guest" appearance. In this current publication, the characters consist of a three-year-old little girl and her twin cousins who are slightly older. Leah is the main character and after visiting a popular zoo one day, she becomes obsessed with the beautiful giraffes. Shortly afterward, she decided that a giraffe would be an ideal pet to have. However, it is apparent to everyone but Leah that owning a giraffe as a pet is totally impractical. This is when her cousins, Charlie and Willie, come to the rescue with an elaborate plan. The story is filled with charm, sentiment, love, humor, and a special message. It will entertain children from approximately ages five to ten.
Mr. Vincent illustrates his images realistically and up to now his medium was soft pastel pencils. In this current book, he introduced his characters using acrylic paint on canvas paper.
Enjoy!
