Giraffe is bored, as usual. Hed 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 palPenguin. Giraffe knows nothing about penguins and his letters are full of questions. Where is a penguins neck? Can a penguin fly? Penguin answers as best he can. But no one expects what happens when the pen pals come face to face at last. Yours Sincerely, Giraffe is a funny tale of mistaken assumptions and friendship.

Reviews for Yours Sincerely, Giraffe

This Japanese import will charm beginning readers who enjoy a bit of witty humor with their animal adventures. The pen-and-ink illustrations are simple yet have a Quentin Blake feel that rounds out the characters and their quirky behaviors. -- Starred Review, School Library Journal (US) The combination of short narrative, dialogue, letters, and humorous pen-and-ink drawings is a winning one. -- Starred Review, Booklist (US) This is a rare book: joyful, ingenuous, playfully earnest -- starred review, Kirkus Reviews The letters between the characters result in an absurdly funny get-together portrayed in humorous drawings. Outstanding International Book -- USBBY
