Poor starry giraffe: every time he reaches for a yummy red apple from a tall tree, one of his hungry friends comes along and the generous giraffe shares the treat. Just when you think he has nothing left to eat for himself, a turn of the page shows otherwise: the starry giraffe is at an apple orchard and there are apples and trees galore! A disarmingly delightful debut picture book from Andrew Bergmann, an accomplished New York based artist and storyteller, The Starry Giraffe puts a surprising twist on a classic story. --Publisher

El cartero subió, subió, subió por la escalera.
Llamó a la puerta:
¡Din-don! ¡Din-don!
No había nadie.
Dejó la carta en el suelo… …
y bajó, bajó, bajó por la escalera.
Esta acción la repiten, con el mismo resultado infructuoso, el zapatero, el jardinero y el panadero. De este modo, encima de la carta depositada ante la puerta del cuarto piso acaban acumulándose un par de zapatos, un ramo de flores y una barra de pan hasta que entra en escena una niña resuelta y pizpireta.
Al igual que el resto de personajes, la pequeña sube por la ya conocida –para el lector– escalera hasta el también consabido cuarto piso. Una vez allí, el relato da un giro inesperado, gracias a la espontaneidad y picardía de la pequeña que resuelve con gracia y de inmediato toda la trama.
