• Sommario/riassunto: New York Public Library, Top 10 2017 The international bestselling and award-winning illustrated chapter book for ages 6–8. Giraffe, who lives in Africa, is bored as usual. He'd love a friend to share things with. So he writes a letter and sends it as far as possible across the other side of the horizon. There he finds a pen pal—Penguin. But it's hard to imagine someone you've never seen... Giraffe knows nothing about penguins and his letters are full of questions. What does a penguin look like? Where is a penguin's neck? And so the letters begin to fly from horizon to horizon. Emerging readers will love this absurd and funny story about what connects us, and finding friendship in unlikely places. With simple line drawings—including handwritten letters—on every page, this witty and accessible story is a perfect book to start independent readers on a lifetime love of reading. Originally published in Japan ; where it is a much-loved classic, Yours Sincerely, Giraffe is now a popular success all around the world. "This is a rare book: joyful, ingenuous, playfully earnest" —Kirkus Megumi Iwasa studied graphic design and lives in Tokyo. Jun Takabatake is one of Japan's best-loved children's illustrators. His illustrations have been exhibited throughout the world, and he has won many international awards.

The pen-and-ink illustrations are simple yet have a Quentin Blake feel that rounds out the characters and their quirky behaviors." —School Library Journal starred review
