When Leopard arrives at Jungle School, Giraffe doesn’t want to include him and tries to exclude him from joining in. So when Leopard has a birthday party he doesn’t invite Giraffe, even though he has invited all his friends. Slowly Giraffe begins to understand how Leopard must have felt when he started school. Can the two of them learn to become friends after all?

This story is about a giraffe who doesn't want to be friends with a new animal at his school. Giraffe is mean to him and then feels left out when he isn't invited to a birthday party. Giraffe says sorry and gets an invitation to the party.

I really liked this book because when the leopard said that the giraffe wasn't aloud to go to his birthday party but when the teacher said the leopard and the giraffe had to work with each other to make a model boat and it had to float and then they both said that they had worked as a team really good so leopard invited giraffe to his birthday party and everybody was going to be at leopards birthday party.
