This gorgeous book has won the coveted title of 'Library Book of the Week' in the Bungalow.
Published in 2013, it tells the tale of clumsy Geoffrey the giraffe, who's struggling to make friends with the little animals in the wild because of his height and awkwardness. Eventually he ends up helping lots of animals in the trees, and realises that his height can be an advantage, and that there are lots of other creatures who'd love to be his friend.
There's a lovely little moral for children in this book, but the illustrations are what sets it apart. Hugely detailed, you can see each ink spot so clearly it's like climbing right into the pictures.
