West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge
4.5

Captivating from the start. Historical fiction, told from the perspective of a 105 year old man writing an epic story from his life before its too late. Remarkably Based on a true story of two Giraffes being trailered across the southern US from NYC to the San Diego zoo in the 1930s.
