(4) K-3 Illustrated by Chris Robertson. A boy points out everything giraffes mess up (birthday parties, movies, park activities), which Robertson highlights in his loose, thick-lined pencil and digital art. But when a kite gets stuck in a tree, the giraffe's long neck ends up being an asset. The child's narration has a mean-spirited tone, and he doesn't seem to have learned from the experience by book's end.
