This book is about
The book is about animals and why they are different sizes and shapes. In the book it explains why giraffes are tall, why fleas can jump far and why insects are not dog-sized.

The main characters are
The animals.

My favourite part of the book is
Finding out why elephants cannot jump.

I would also like to say
Elephants cannot jump because they are too big and can't bend their legs enough to jump.
