However, Miki and Raffa the giraffe soon realize that for every physical difference between them, there's a similarity and compatibility in what they both enjoy - or are scared of! And seeing from the world from someone else's point of view might be fun after all. Also available: Legs: The Tale of a Meerkat Lost and Found
