Description

If you had a giraffe, and he stretched another half......If you gave him a flute, and he played tooty-toot......If you found an old trunk and inside was a skunk... And so it goes until... but that would be telling. Children will be kept in stitches until the very end, when the situation is resolved in the most riotous way possible. Shel Silverstein's incomparable line drawings add to the hilarity of his wildly funny story. In this book you'll find delightfully zany rhymes about a giraffe who accumulates some ridiculous things – like glue on his shoe and a bee on his knee – only to lose them again, one by one.
