The Green Giraffe

I asked my Grandfather to help me write this review. He read me the book and I really enjoyed it. I liked the way the words rhymed and I loved the pictures. Every page was delightful and at first, I felt sorry for the giraffe. I liked the ending. - Mathew Slesinski, age 21/2.

John's adventures continue in this delightful story. John helps to disguise a runaway giraffe who taps on his window pane at night. It seems the giraffe has escaped because the zoo is planning to ship him back to Africa. John camouflages him by painting him green so he can hide in the backyard. Trouble begins when the giraffe eats the leaves off Mom's trees. This third in the John's Colorful World series is just as enchanting as the first two books. Children ages 4-8 will learn a color vocabulary and discover interesting facts about giraffes in "Genuine Giraffe Gems." Highly recommended!
