After helping the animals get rid of poachers in the first book of the Animal Tales series (The Journey Begins), the roles are reversed in the second book. 

The Okapi's Tale begins with Jake being very self-centered and angry at his parents for holding him accountable for some bad choices. He is transported to Africa to learn from the okapi. This elusive animal fared well for itself in the wild by understanding the rules of life...and, through the okapi's story, Jake learns the importance of 'getting it' and understanding life's rules.

As the story unfolds, we learn why the okapi seems to be made up of spare parts from zebras, giraffes, and bongos. The Okapi's Tale teaches Dr. Phil's first life lesson in a unique and memorable way. Books with morals are making a comeback; make sure you get this one today for the children in your life.
