Welcome to Litsy!

In my internet travels, I came across a story of the world‘s first spotless giraffe, Kipekee, who was born in Tennessee in 2023. Kipekee means unique in Swahili.

As a founding member of the Tacoma chapter of the Big Wheel Club, I already love this book and this is the dedication page. Reminiscent of a classic bit as old as show biz: from Greek fable to Grover, this book doesn't disappoint. Does the fly improve the soup or does the soup improve the fly? Replace with a giraffe.

A 2020 #WCCPBA nominee, and the newest student poster in my library, a 30 year tradition. 6th graders make a book poster after learning ratio in math. Our 6th grade moved to the middle school, and I haven't received a poster in years. I didn't allow the 5th graders to carry on because it made sense to pair it with the math lesson. I tell them when they graduate to make a plan, learn the math, and I'll give them the paper which is 24X18in.

Gerald is a giraffe who simply can't dance. Try as he may, his long, spindly legs buckle whenever he starts to boogy. Every year he dreads going to the Great Jungle Dance - until one night when he finds his own special music...

Book 24

Bookworm problem #352 - When listening to audio books on CD you get slightly annoyed at how slow it is because you normally listen to streaming books from the library at double speed.

In each chapter of this book, the author evokes the relationship between exotic animals and a powerful person. Each chapter can be read separately, so it's a book you can read in bits ;)
The author, in 50 pages or so, sets the decor, the historical context in such a way that it is easy for any reader to understand the context and to enjoy the (hi)story.
Very well-written, interesting, informative, just my type of books 📚

So cute. A lesson in appreciating yourself just the way you are. Giraffes are my favorite!
