Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In the tradition of Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree , a generous giraffe gives away all of his apples to his hungry friends in this winning picture book that begs to be read aloud.
Poor starry giraffe: every time he reaches for a yummy red apple from a tall tree, one of his hungry friends comes along and the generous giraffe shares the treat. Just when you think he has nothing left to eat for himself, a turn of the page shows otherwise: the starry giraffe is at an apple orchard and there are apples and trees galore!
A disarmingly delightful debut picture book from Andrew Bergmann, an accomplished New York based artist and storyteller, The Starry Giraffe puts a surprising twist on a classic story.
Picking red apples from a high tree in the hope of enjoying a satisfying snack, a starry giraffe generously gives away each apple she picks to a sequence of hungry friends and begins to fear that there won't be any apples left for her.
Ages 4-8.
