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.

"The combination of short narrative, dialogue, letters, and humorous pen-and-ink drawings is a winning one." -- Starred Review, Booklist (US)
