I Got 99 Problems But a Giraffe Ain't One submitted by Meginator on June 27, 2023, 10:58am This book takes a humorous look at the downsides of being a giraffe, focused on the various inconveniences associated with having such a long neck. The book uses a variety of page layouts that help tell the story and add to the book’s sly sense of humor, including some (predictably) excellent use of vertical space and a notable sideways two-page spread. The story itself is both silly and sweet, with an ending that I found unconvincingly saccharine in light of the author’s generally wicked sense of humor; it just doesn’t fit the tone of the rest of the book, although it does convey a nice moral message about appreciating your own unique features. Overall, this is a clever riff on the theme of loving oneself with a great sense of humor and some surprises in its story arc even if it does end up at the expected destination.

Giraffe problems and Turtles too submitted by balin on June 27, 2023, 7:46pm A good story about insecurities and how they can be turned into an area of strength that can help others.

Funny and educative submitted by Dewi Lumban Toruan on June 28, 2023, 8:51am My 4 years old loves it. Its funny. It teaches differences and uniqueness of each individuals, and how ones differences can be strengths, not weaknesses.
