BUYING ADVISORY: EL-ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: EL-AVERAGE
Leopold is a giraffe who loves being the center of attention at the zoo. When a young boy starts praising his giraffe balloon as being better than the real thing, Leopold gets a little bent out of shape.
The best part of this book are the illustrations--I love them. The reactions on Leopold's face are fantastic, and I really like the style of the artwork. That being said, its a difficult book to read aloud so I think it is more suited to older elementary students who can read it to themselves. The story is amusing enough, but definitely lacks that certain something to make it a lasting classic.
