Yours Sincerely, Giraffe

Witnessing my 1 grader laugh out loud , almost in tears , reading a particular page over and because it’s so funny to him , makes me very happy.He loves this book, it is his new favorite book. While the humor might not work it’s charm on some adults for kids it’s hilarious .I personally really enjoy this book as well. Highly recommend.

My son absolutely loves this book. Also, the paper is thick and a hardcover so it can last my 3yo, who loves this book, turning pages.

I think my granddaughter will really enjoy this first forage into almost pictureless book. I enjoyed the story .

Love it

Funny.

My kids about died with laughter! Great book

I delight in fun books for my kids. Yours Sincerely, Giraffe, was one of those. Megumi Iwasa, author, has done a wonderful job integrating words that are intelligent yet speak to a child's mind. Reading along to my three-year-old son was very engaging, and even at his age, he could understand what was going on in the story.The storyline brought him in so much that he wanted to "read" it to me as well. He built on the giraffe's story, using the pictures to guide him. It was a very pleasant reading experience for both my son and me.The illustrations by Jun Takabatake were adorable and felt childlike. They were so cute, and there were just enough of them to add to the story and keep my son's interest as I read to him.I would highly recommend this story about a giraffe's adventures to find a pen pal. Along the way, Giraffe found friends and acquaintances that made his boring life interesting and colorful.This book would serve as a great read-along to young preschoolers (read little bits at a time, of course) and would be appropriate for second graders to read with help.We thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I think your young readers would, too.I received this book in exchange for my honest opinion. My views are my own.

'Yours Sincerely, Giraffe' by Megumi Iwasa with illustrations by Jun Takabatake is a cute story about a bored giraffe, a tolerant pelican, and a new pen pal.Giraffe is bored. He usually is. He decides to send a letter over the horizon to anyone that can be found. Pelican is bored too, so he takes on the job, but the horizon is a long way away. When Pelican finally stops, he finds a seal who carries the letter to a penguin. The penguin has a whale for a professor. Thus begins a series of cute correspondence. We learn that while giraffes have necks, that is something that is harder to find on penguins and whales. Also, if you try to dress up like a friend you've never seen before, you will probably not get very close to looking like them.It's a cute story with some cute illustrations. The letters in the book really feel like they could have been written by children. The lesson of reaching out to others, even those who are different from ourselves, is a beautiful one. Penguin and giraffe are very unlikely friends, but it just feels like it is meant to be in this story.I received a review copy of this ebook from Gecko Press, Myrick Marketing & Media, LLC., and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

Quirky story much appreciated by my 8 year old granddaughter

Absolutely love this book! Great fun to read for adults and kids the same.
