""An oddball title that charms despite its slightly head-scratching resolution. It starts with a simple question (""How does a giraffe sleep?"") posed playfully on the front cover, along with a lift-the-flap revealing the amazing length of the creature's neck. On each successive spread, Louchard asks readers to consider a variety of silly possibilities- ""Does he curl into a spiral? Certainly NOT! He'd get dizzy... Why not stretch out between two trees, like a hammock? That would be FUNNY!"" The ink and watercolor images are understated, surrounded by crisp white space. No answer is given by the end. Instead, the author encourages young readers to think and imagine. Older kids and adults will want to do a quick Internet search to find the answer, but the toddler set are likely to simply revel in the silliness.""-Kiera Parrott, School Library Journal

How does a giraffe sleep with such an amazingly long neck? Does it wrap itself around a tree? Does it curl up on the ground, or stretch out like a hammock? In this hilarious lift-the-flap book, each idea is illustrated with great visual humor. Whether the giraffe likes sleeping this way, that way, or in some way only a child could imagine, children will love these clever variations.
