A new baby giraffe is struggling to live up to his overbearing father's expectations of what a son should be. But will he eventually pluck up the courage to prove to his dad he has what it takes, and step out into the big bad zoo? With the little giraffe already feeling the pressure, it's time for his father to be tested - he needs to see the vet about his feet - and vets turns to be his big fear. With the father scared of vets and the baby scared of the outside world, can they support each other to face their fears, and realise that perhaps it's not so bad after all?
