Stan & Bea's Tall Tales
- Stan & Bea's Tall Tales: Two stories of how the giraffe got its long neck, told by Stanley and Beatrice Tall, our twin giraffe mascots.
- Look below for some illustrations for the stories. Brenna Christie, the guidance counselor at Tattnall Square Academy in Macon, Georgia, wrote us to say that Tattnall kids who did the Giraffe Heroes Program were being brave and compassionate all over the place. She sent us illustrations that Tattnall students have done for Stan & Bea's stories. You can read her letter, and then see all of their awesome drawings below!
