<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "Could there be anything worse for Giraffe? Maybe being sat on by a skunk or smooshed by two hapless hippos, or worst of all--cornered by a hungry lion? No one seems to notice that Giraffe is not standing around just to be sat upon. Will he be able to find his voice and make his friends realize who he really is?"--Amazon.com. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><strong>Grab the best seat in the house with this funny, touching picture book about a giraffe who keeps being mistaken for a chair!</strong></p><p>From the acclaimed author-illustrator of <em>There's a Giraffe in My Soup </em>comes a curious tale about finding one's courage and standing up for oneself. Full of vibrant and playful illustrations and hilariously absurd logic, kids will want to read it again and again.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br> <p>Is there anything worse than being mistaken for a chair?</p><p>Maybe being sat on by a stinky skunk?</p><p>Or smooshed by two hapless hippos?</p><p>Or--worst of all--cornered by a hungry lion? </p><p>What's a poor giraffe to do when no one seems to notice that he is not standing there just to be sat upon? It's a curious tale about finding your courage from acclaimed author-illustrator Ross Burach.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "Rat-a-tat dialogue and freewheeling cartooning, featuring a bounty of googly eyes and goofy expressions, make this a great readaloud for anyone who's ever felt objectified or misunderstood-a wide audience if ever there was one."--<em>Publishers Weekly</em> </br></br>"Yeah, I'd say that's a winner! I laughed more with this book than I have in a while. The ending, especially, was a perfect touch. The illustrations are, of course, what make this book (because, really, a giraffe would not look like a chair otherwise)."--Literary Hoots </br></br>"An engaging bit of silliness that should find a home in storytime and picture book collections."--School Library Journal
