the giraffe and the pelly and me
by roald dahl
while this tiny tome took me about 7 days to read, i bet most of you could read it in 7 minutes. it's delightful and definitely a joy to read. you will feel good & silly when reading this story. you will! in this tale, young billy befriends, you might be able to guess, a giraffe, a pelican and....a monkey! these animals have some special talents they put to use and the foursome becomes the ladderless window-cleaning company. the company is asked to clean all the windows of a VIP in town and, in doing so, adventure begins!
if you've ever wanted to ride in the beak of a pelican, watch a giraffe extend her neck as high as the sky, discover a monkey's favorite snack or own a sweet shop...this book is a must-read!
i think i will see if my sister wants to take it home with her. she is visiting for a few days and is an avid reader. i finished this book while we were both lounging in the living room, reading! (bliss)
the year is halfway over and i'm 13.3% through this challenge. sad. but i'm not stopping! and, i've only purchased 2 books for myself this year. two!! that is a record, i am certain. of course, i've been given quite a few books. heh. but they are on the shelf, for now, until next year. one book at a time. i started the amy sedaris book i like me right after cesar's way. i love amy sedaris and her book is an absolute hoot. the first, um, experience i ever had with ms. sedaris was catching her on david letterman one night. i was in tears by the end of the bit. through the magic of the internet, allow me to share:
