Publisher Description
Elephant has a lot to say about surprises-about surprise alpine horn serenades, and surprise toboggans, and surprise parties.
And while Giraffe doesn't have a lot to say about surprises, or anything else, he always seems to get the last word.
With surprising wit and humor, Paul Gude brings back delightfully earnest Elephant and her quiet friend, Giraffe, for three new (and surprisingly silly) adventures that will leave readers laughing and asking for more!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Chatty, bossy Elephant and her quiet pal Giraffe star in three new vignettes in Gude's follow-up to When Elephant Met Giraffe. In the first tale, Giraffe expresses his creative side by playing his alpine horn, with mixed results ("Giraffe!" Elephant shouts. "It's too early for alpine horns!") Next, the duo's toboggan ride through their savanna environs isn't as fun as imagined. And, finally, Elephant takes a very literal approach to planning Giraffe's "surprise" party. Striking just the right tone between prickly and sweet, Gude offers a succinct, drily funny tribute to the seesaw nature of friendship. Ages 3 5.
