A Giraffe and a Half

A Giraffe and a Half
Written by Shel Silverstein
Poetry 3

If you had a giraffe and he stretched another half, do you know what you would get? A giraffe and a half! This funny story about a giraffe had me laughing the whole way through! I really enjoyed the repetition on each page. It made you anticipate the next silly thing the giraffe is going to do. Shel Silverstein's line drawings make the silly poems come to life. They bring out the imagination of the reader in a way that it could be hard for a person to imagine a giraffe looking cute in a suit with a rose on his nose. I really enjoyed this book. It would definitively be something I would have on my book shelf. Everyone needs a good laugh here and there! :)
