We read this book aloud to Magda, finishing around April 5, 2012. I asked Magda questions about it on April 10, 2012.

What book is this?

Roald Dahl! The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me!

Was it a good book?

Yeah! Yes yes.

What did you like about it?

Just the giraffe.

What did the giraffe do?

Wash the windows.

By herself?

Course she did!

Did the giraffe have help?

No, she didn’t. Did she?

What about the—

Pelican!

How did the pelican help? Did he do something with his beak?

The burglar shot the pelican’s beak! Oh no! Maybe Roald Dahl had to fix the beak. Maybe he did.

What about the monkey? What did the monkey do?

Wash the windows!

How would YOU wash windows?

With a giraffe and a pelican and a giraffe and a monkey and Mommy and Daddy!

Read more after the jump (with ART!)...



At the end of the book the little boy gets to have one wish and he wishes for a candy store. If you could have anything in the world, what would you wish for?

Cats!

CATS?

I want some kitty cats.

For a pet?

Yeah, like a pet.

Would they live HERE?

No.

Where would they live?

In a candy store.

Ahhhh....

I want a candy store. I want some candy!

Below is a collage Magda made of silly animals washing all kinds of windows, just like in the book.

Magda says the statue (on the right) was also helping to wash the windows...and he could talk.
