Book SynopsisThe bestselling creators of the hilarious Penguin Problems, Jory John and Lane Smith, turn a giraffe''s problematic long neck into an enviable advantage in this fun board book. Edward the giraffe can''t understand why his neck is as long and bendy and, well, ridiculous as it is. No other animal has a neck this absurd. He''s tried disguising it, dressing it up, strategically hiding behind bushes--honestly, anything you can think of. Just when he has exhausted his neck-hiding options and is about to give up, Cyrus the turtle ambles in (very slowly) and helps Edward understand that his neck has a purpose and, besides, looks excellent in a bow tie. Along with a heavy dose of humor comes a gentle reminder about the importance of acceptance.Trade Review★ "This book will appeal to older preschoolers as well as elementary school kids, and would lend itself perfectly to dramatic interpretation or an art lesson in sponge or block printing."—School Library Journal, starred review★ "Never one to let an opportunity for caricature go to waste, Smith stretches Edward’s neck to comical length...
