Description
Giraffe is bored, as usual. He'd love a friend to share things with. So he writes a letter and sends it as far as possible across the other side of the horizon. There he finds a pen pal—Penguin.
Giraffe knows nothing about penguins and his letters are full of questions. Where is a penguin's neck? Can a penguin fly? Penguin answers as best he can.
But no one expects what happens when the pen pals come face to face at last.
Yours Sincerely, Giraffe is a funny tale of mistaken assumptions and friendship from afar.

Starred Review- Booklist 2/1/17
The combination of short narrative, dialogue, letters, and humorous pen-and-ink drawings is a winning one. For children who send or receive few letters, the book’s a great introduction to letter writing, although this isn’t its main purpose. The gentle friendship story will leave readers feeling warm and fuzzy, making this early chapter book a great addition to any collection.

When a bored giraffe writes a letter to anyone across the horizon, a beautiful and funny friendship begins. Told in the format of a beginner chapter book, this wonderfully written story is full of whimsy and life lessons that readers of all ages are sure to appreciate! This book is a great resource for any classroom library, and will surely spark a desire in students to learn more about others and find their very own pen-pal across the horizon too!
