Ever wondered what noise a giraffe
makes? Craig MacLean makes his author/illustrator debut with this new picture
book.
While books relating animal noises have
certainly been around for years, MacLean gives this a new twist by focussing on
an animal I’m sure we have rarely heard make a noise.
His simple rhyming text and bold,
colourful illustrations will see younger children making the familiar noises
but also thinking about the giraffe – and no doubt offering suggestions.
The answer at the end of the book fits
and will see children making their own giraffe noises. MacLean often pondered
the question himself and his young daughter came up with the answer.
Well suited to pre-schoolers, I still am
wondering what other noises does a giraffe make – this might also lead onto
some further investigation about giraffes with young children.
Perfect to read aloud – particularly
with the larger, clear text .
