Jimmy the Giraffe

Is there something about yourself that you’d like to change? Most of us would like to change something about ourselves sometimes.

In his book Jimmy the Giraffe, author Mark Albini tells Jimmy’s story. On his way to school one day, he stops at a farm for a bale of hay with his friend Howie the Horse. He begins to think he’d rather be a horse. At least that way he wouldn’t have his really long neck. And that would be fine with him. But Bobo the Mouse tells him life on a farm is not as fun as it seems.

Told in rhyme and illustrations, Jimmy the Giraffe shows readers the grass is not always greener on the other side. It’s best to be yourself.
