A Giraffe and a Half
by Shel Silverstein Illustrated by Shel Silverstein
"If you had a giraffe
and he stretched another half...
you would have a giraffe and a half.
and he stretched another half...
you would have a giraffe and a half.
And if you glued a rose
to the tip of his nose...
And...if he put on a shoe
and then stepped in some glue...
And if he used a chair
to comb his hair..."
And so it goes until … but that would be telling. Children will be kept in stitches until the very end, when the situation is resolved in the most riotous way possible.
Shel Silverstein’ s incomparable line drawings add to the hilarity of his wildly funny rhymes.
