The Trouble with Giraffes

By: Mantchev, Lisa

Book Overview

A girl and her pet giraffe are friends despite their difference in size in this tender picture book companion to the bestselling and acclaimed Strictly No Elephants.

A girl knows having a pet giraffe poses some difficulties, like finding a way to take walks together with legs very different in length. And her giraffe doesn't fit into the clubhouse door for Pet Club. But the Pet Club members come together to find a way for him--and everyone--to be included. Because that's what friends do.

Strictly No Elephants has been sold around the world and is heralded as a pitch-perfect book about inclusion. Now, this new companion offers "a kid-friendly look at the multifaceted work that underpins true inclusivity" (Kirkus Reviews).
