Not a great message for a developing brain and self-esteem! For such amazing artwork, we were very disturbed by the giraffe calling himself "useless," feeling like "such a clot,""so sad and so alone" etc.
Good story and cute illustrations.

My 11 month old loves the giraffe in this book! Personally the books ending doesn’t rhyme like the rest of the book so it’s kind of weird
