Giraffe knows nothing about penguins and his letters are full of questions. What does a penguin look like? Where is a penguin’s neck? And so the letters begin to fly from horizon to horizon.
This international bestseller is an absurd and endearing story about an African giraffe and his pen pal, a penguin.
