The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me

violec - This book is about a boy, Billy, that lived next to a Candy store. Billy loved candy, but the Candy store was closed. One day, a tall, big colourful giraffe, a big pelly and a revolting brown monkey moved where the Candy store was. They turned it into a window cleaner’s place. On the sunniest, loveliest day, a man comes with a letter, the letter said: “Dear sirs,I saw your notice as I drove by this morning. I had looking for a decent windows cleaner for the last fifty years but I have not found one yet. My house have six hundred seventy seven windows in it (without counting the greenhouse) and all for them are filthy. Kindly come and see me as soon as possible.The Duke of Hampshire. Will the animals go? If they do, will they take Billy? What will happen with the house the animals live in? If you want to know who ME is, read this book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you like animals read it too!!!!! This book is wonderful:,the story, the CHARACTERS, and the pictures... It is excellent for children who love pictures.(Quentin Blake made them) I like when Roald Dahl entertains readers by exaggerating everything. For example, if he wants to say someone is tall, he says he is super duper extra duper tall to make an impact. I loved that in his books NOTHING IS NORMAL READ THIS WONDERFUL BOOK!
