The Gentle Giraffe
Russell McCracken, Susanne Suba
Hardcover
(Garden City, Jan. 1, 1946)
The adventures of Ginny Giraffe and her uncle, Gentleman Gerald, while they explore the big city, eat in a sidewalk café, ride in a taxi, and rescue a kitten from a burning building. In addition to the appeal of the story and the delightful illustrations, the book comes with two sturdy cardboard "Slottie" toys ready to be punched out and assembled. "The two giraffes can act out the story or just stand around and look handsome."
