Oh Dear, Geoffrey!

(3) K-3 Young, wobbly-kneed giraffe Geoffrey tries to make friends with other animals, but he's so tall that when he bends down to play, he stumbles and falls. Discouraged, he heads to a tall tree for a snack--and meets a group of monkeys and birds who value him for his height. Frequent shifts in perspective add tension and movement to the mixed-media illustrations.
Reviewer: Shara Hardeson
