The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me"( by Roald Dahl) (paperback)

In "The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me" by Roald Dahl, the story revolves around a young boy named Billy, who dreams of owning a sweet shop. He encounters three unusual animals – a giraffe, a pelican (Pelly), and a monkey – who run a window-cleaning business. These animals have special talents that make them ideal for the job: the giraffe has an incredibly long neck to reach high places, the pelican has a beak that can hold vast quantities of water for washing, and the monkey is agile and fast, perfect for scrubbing windows.

The giraffe is portrayed as gentle and elegant, with a long, graceful neck that it can extend or contract to reach different heights. The pelican is witty and practical, with a giant beak that serves as both a bucket and a tool for washing. The monkey is energetic, humorous, and provides a lively touch to their team. Together, they embark on an adventure filled with humor and fun as they clean the windows of a grand mansion, helping Billy realize his dream along the way.

Roald Dahl’s imaginative and playful style brings the quirky characters to life, making the story a delightful read for children.
