Age: Toddler-Preschool
Animals: Giraffe

Giraffe's normal resting pose looks remarkably like a chair, and the neighborhood animals are inclined to recline. Giraffe finally musters up the courage to speak out and declare that he is not a chair when a rather ravenous lion takes a seat and demands that the next animal he sees will be his dinner. Emotionally charged illustrations and a short story make this perfect for storytime. The only real problem I see with this book is the quick resolution.
