Yours Sincerely, Giraffe by Megumi Iwasa

Yours Sincerely, Giraffe by Megumi Iwasa

Giraffe is bored, as usual. He'd love a friend to share things with. So he writes a letter and sends it as far as possible across the other side of the horizon. There he finds a pen pal-Penguin.

"This Japanese import will charm beginning readers who enjoy a bit of witty humor with their animal adventuresThe pen-and-ink illustrations are simple yet have a Quentin Blake feel that rounds out the characters and their quirky behaviors." -- Starred Review, School Library Journal (US)
"The combination of short narrative, dialogue, letters, and humorous pen-and-ink drawings is a winning one." -- Starred Review, Booklist (US)

“This is a rare book: joyful, ingenuous, playfully earnest”

-- starred review, Kirkus Reviews

"The letters between the characters result in an absurdly funny get-together portrayed in humorous drawings."

Outstanding International Book
