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 subiĆ³, subiĆ³, subiĆ³ por la escalera.
LlamĆ³ a la puerta:
Ā”Din-don! Ā”Din-don!
No habĆa nadie.
DejĆ³ la carta en el sueloā¦ ā¦
y bajĆ³, bajĆ³, bajĆ³ por la escalera.
Esta acciĆ³n 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 acumulĆ”ndose un par de zapatos, un ramo de flores y una barra de pan hasta que entra en escena una niƱa resuelta y pizpireta.
Al igual que el resto de personajes, la pequeƱa sube por la ya conocida āpara el lectorā escalera hasta el tambiĆ©n consabido cuarto piso. Una vez allĆ, el relato da un giro inesperado, gracias a la espontaneidad y picardĆa de la pequeƱa que resuelve con gracia y de inmediato toda la trama.
