A tall wooden fence runs the full width of this page, and a giraffe has leaned its head and neck over the top of it. The animal faces left with a large lashed eye, a rounded muzzle, two knobbed horns and one ear drawn as a pointed leaf shape against the neck.

The fence is the detailed half of the drawing. Pointed planks stand side by side, each one ruled with long grain lines and a small round nail head, held together by two horizontal rails that cross behind them. Tufts of grass push up along the bottom edge. All of it is open outline, so the boards can take a different wood tone one by one if you want to slow the page down.

The giraffe's neck is covered with large round spots running diagonally from the head to where it disappears behind the top rail, and a ridged mane follows the same line. Above the fence the sheet is left white.

The framing is what makes it work: the animal is cut off at the chest, so the page reads as a moment at the zoo rather than a portrait of a whole creature. That is a familiar scene to most children who have met one.
