The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me (Colour Edition)

How do you clean a window? If you’re boring, you hire a human. But if you’re a Roald Dahl fan, you call in the world’s first ladderless window-cleaning team! One giraffe with a super-long neck. One pelican with a huge beak for holding water. And one dancing monkey who can reach all the tricky corners! But don’t worry: this isn’t a story about cleaning windows. It’s about Billy, a kid who dreams of owning a sweet shop. It’s about England’s richest man, and a daring jewel robbery. Most of all – it’s about making you laugh LOTS!

  • A witty Roald Dahl classic, now with full-colour pictures
  • Full of imagination and Quentin Blake’s funny artwork
  • Short and simple story which is great for younger readers
  • Perfect for reading alone or shared family reading times

    It was good but it could add some more adventure and a lot more mystery and more believable things and characters and maybe add some funny jokes you hear or search. Don’t just add animals add things that aren’t real like mermaid or dragons or magic like Harry potter
