Joe the giraffe is looking for an adventure, but first he must convince his low-key turtle friend, Sparky to join him. While taking a walk together through Safari Land, the cage less zoo where the two friends live, Joe discovers some new friends, who are actually participants in a televised program he sees through a window. After hearing the announcer of the program say they are looking for talented pairs, Joe sets out to discover Sparky’s talent. Though Sparky attempts many “talents” he is not successful, and is convinced he will remain talentless. However, Joe saves the day by discovering the perfect talent for his friend. Colorful illustrations on each page and a fun story combined with four short chapters make this book perfect for young readers who are ready for the challenge of beginning chapter books. 48 pages
