Download The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me eBook

I thought I was familiar with all of Roald Dahl’s books from when my children were small, but I’m learning about new ones with my grandchildren. The BFG has been my go-to “introduction to chapter books” story, but even precocious children need to be close to 5 before they can sit and listen. Then I found The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me. Perfect for a precocious almost-4-year-old who “got “ the idea of chapter books after the first, albeit far from the only, reading. She promptly moved on to longer and more complex books, and I’m sure we have a lifelong reader.

This edition is not compatible with the Kindle. The font is tiny and cannot be adjusted - you can only zoom in on the actual page. Complete waste of money and unfortunately there are no alternatives to order.

I read this to my kids and they are completely absorbed and loved it.

I like the candy shop. I really want to try some of the candy. I think they'll be awesome.

Roald Dahl has a great imagination. We love his children books.

This story is great to introduce youngsters to the anarchic world of Roald Dahl, involving a young lad who starts a window washing business with his two pets. It is aimed at a slightly younger audience that some of his better known titles.
Roald Dahl is a National treasure here in the UK, so I bought this as a gift for American friends - I hope they love it as much as we have.

This was my favorite Ronald Dahl book as a child. My daughter now has a copy and enjoyed it as well.

This is a beautifully written book to read to your young child. It is so full of imagination that you are taken into Dahl's magical world believing that a giraffe, a pelican, and a monkey could do your next window cleaning. We read "James and the Giant Peach" last year, and like that book this one is great read aloud. The action of the book keeps your child on the tips of their toes. It is such fun!

This Roald Dahl book is quite inspirational for children who would like to follow their dreams and try to accomplish them.
