A small 5 year boy is forced to give up his favorite book because it was put on a list of censored media.
SYNOPSIS
"The Giraffe That Knew To Much"
The story plays out in a not-so-distant future where corporations, in conjunction with the government, decide what should be said, read, and published throughout all media.
A small 5 year-old boy named Tom, who lives with his single mother, Jill, in New York, has to give up his favorite book; "The Giraffe That Knew Too Much"-- because it got put on a list of censored books. Not understanding what is going on around him, Tom just wants to hold on to his favorite book, while his mother doesn't want to upset the higher powers.
The story is an innocent look at censorship through the eyes of a child.
