He's tried disguising it, dressing it up, strategically hiding it behind bushes ... anything he can think of. But just when he's exhausted his neck-hiding options, a turtle ambles in and tries to help him understand that his neck has a purpose ... and looks excellent in a bow tie.

Carlo the giraffe sees many different colors in various places--red in the street, brown in the woods, white at a wedding, and orange at a cafe.
