The star of the book is a beautiful but clumsy giraffe Geoffrey, trying to make friends. Bryn declared this a nice story as after a few disappointing attempts Geoffrey finally does find some friends.

He in fact found ‘MORE friends then he can count!” which is Bryns favourite page as he gets to the demonstrate his counting skills.

Freya is a little young to appreciate the message of friendship in this book but it did appeal to her love of slapstick and the spreads showing Geoffrey having slipped, bumped, crashed or splashed were of great delight.

The pictures in the book are beautifully vibrant a perfect match to the characters & language of the story
