I liked the story as I like animals and it was good as it explained why giraffes are tall and rhinos are angry!

It was very interesting because it had a potion and the little giraffe remembered to come but the Rhino didn't.

I thought it was so good because the little giraffe got bugger and bigger from the magic drink.

The rhino wasn't as clever as the giraffe. So one remained the same while the other didn't. I would recommend that my little sister read it one day.

A good book to read, the giraffe drank all the drink and the rhino got angry because the giraffe didn't leave him any and he is still angry.

Nice story, but not sure why the Rhino did not turn up to see the wise man. It's his own fault!
