Olaf the Giraffe is excited when he finds a book. "I LOVE books!" he chuckles, and starts to have a look. But he gets interrupted by a whole host of animals who tell him how to read: lying down like a crocodile, standing on one leg like a flamingo, and even hanging upside down like a monkey! Olaf has enough and stomps away... but soon finds himself sharing the book with all the animals, together.
