Bergmann, Andy. The Starry Giraffe, PICTURE BOOK. Aladdin, 2017. $15.99.
The starry giraffe is hungry! She grabs an apple off of an apple tree and is about to eat when a little mouse runs by asking her to get an apple for him too. She passes him her apple and is about to eat when more animals arrive, one by one. She passes them all apples and they eat happily. Eventually there is only one apple left. The starry giraffe is about to eat it when she sees a little inchworm. She gives the inchworm the last apple and lies down, tired a bit sad. After a little bit of rest, she hops back up, moves on to the next apple tree and eats twenty seven apples.
Just when you’re about to feel really badly for this sweet, generous giraffe, the surprise ending gives you a good chuckle and is a delightful way to wrap things up. Young readers will appreciate it too.
