The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me
The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me | Roald Dahl
12 posts | 47 read | 3 to read
Phizzwhizzing new cover look and branding for the World's NUMBER ONE Storyteller! Billy's biggest wish is to turn a weird old wooden house into a wonderful sweet-shop. But then he finds a giraffe, a pelly and a monkey living inside - they're the Ladderless Window-Cleaning Company! Who needs ladders when you've got a giraffe? They become best friends and when they meet the richest man in all of England, there's a chance that Billy's scrumptious-galumptious dream just might come true . . . Now you can listen to THE GIRAFFE AND THE PELLY AND ME (with ESIO TROT) and other Roald Dahl audiobooks read by some very famous voices, including Kate Winslet, David Walliams and Steven Fry - plus there are added squelchy soundeffects from Pinewood Studios! And look out for new Roald Dahl apps in the App store and Google Play- including the disgusting TWIT OR MISS! and HOUSE OF TWITS inspired by the revolting Twits. "A true genius . . . Roald Dahl is my hero" David Walliams

For some odd reason I don't remember this book as clearly as Roald Dahl's others. Short and sweet.

😭 “Look at a page in this book because that‘s where we‘ll always be.” A sentence fitting for all the friends we like to revisit in books!

Another recommendation from my daughter which I was able to finish in a day. I‘ve never read this before and was surprised how short it was. A good, easy read and another ticked off my list.

Needed a quick read for the youngest two while while Mor was out of town with grandparents.

Sometimes, when Dad is running late, we have read-at-the-table night. 🤫

saresmoore @ravenlee It‘s such a lovely time. My eldest pipes up to share funny or clever lines, every so often. I love getting to witness them engaging with a good story! 5y

Last week I was in a reading slump and really needed a pick-me-up! Whenever I‘m feeling like that I tend to pick a book that I‘ve read during my childhood. Of course, #roalddahl always helps me out! #quickread #justwhatineeded #spring2018 #mustread #classic #bookworm #readingslump #mustpickup #bookrating #reader

New book @pagesaplenty and I love the cover art! It made me think of the Roald Dahl book, and since I couldn't find it I tagged his book instead. #vintagebooks #books #peteandfreddys #zebra #ostrich #pelicans #middlegradebooks

Not my favorite Dahl book, but still a really good one. And Willy Wonka's chocolates make an appearance, too!

This TL by Ronald Dahl teaches the power of teamwork through the Ladderless Window Cleaning Company- a giraffe, pelican, and monkey! Dahl uses vivid vocabulary such as dotty, gumption and galloped, and adds in small songs and illustrations to bring the book to life. Here's a teamwork lesson, & there's a virtual tour of his museum! www.roalddahl.com/create-and-learn/teach/teach-the-stories/the-giraffe-and-the-pelly-and-me-lessons #UCFLAE3414sp17

CaitlinPVeal This book sounds like a great book! It is important in a new class to establish a sense of togetherness or team work. On the website I liked that there were quizzes the kids could take. This is a great tool if you need a fun lesson extension for reading comprehension! 7y
DrSpalding Did you win this one from me? If so, yeah for reading it so quickly. His website is fantastic! 7y
