        Was this book a good fit for the Read Around the USA Challenge?

            Yes!  Another book this month that I absolutely loved!! Thank you for these selections!  This book was such an odd assortment of characters pieced together with historical elements and blended perfectly. A truly beautiful story!

              Absolutely. The author took a small event- the arrival of two giraffes that must cross the country- and developed it into a beautiful story.

                This was one of my favorite novels of 2022. I fell in love with those giraffes and was intrigued by the real life story of giraffes being transported during the Great Depression.

                  Yes! This was one of my favorites from last year. I loved the story and the characters.

                    Absolutely!  It is a perfect fit.  I did not expect to enjoy this book as much as I did.  The wonderful reviews in this group piqued my interest, so I had to give it a try.

                    It is a wonderful account of a small, but true event made personal through the wonderful characters.  This is a perfect example of my love for historical fiction.  The reader can learn so much, but yet get caught up in the fictionalized details!!

                      A perfect fit for the category of crossing state lines.  I loved this story–the historical aspect of it as well as the personal character driven story.
