The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me [平裝] (長頸鹿、小鵜兒和我)

內容簡介

Who needs a ladder when you've got a giraffe with an extending neck? The Ladderless Window-Cleaning Company certainly doesn't. They don't need a pail, either, because they have a pelican with a bucket-sized beak. With a monkey to do the washing and Billy as their manager, this business is destined for success. Annotation A small boy with a desire to own a candy shop meets a window-washing team composed of a giraffe, a pelican, and a monkey and together they go to work for the wealthy Duke of Hampshire, who makes all their dreams come true.

這是一篇充滿創造性、令人回味無窮的新奇故事，如同以往，達爾故事中的獨特性與創造性，總能帶給讀者有點熟悉又有些陌生的想像畫面，一群動物—一隻長頸鹿、一隻鵜鶘、一隻小猴子與一個小男孩成立一家「沒有梯子窗戶清潔公司」，一間有六百七十七扇窗戶的房子，一家賣著全世界最狂野和最驚奇糖果的糖果店，讀者一面咀嚼文字之餘，相信腦海裡正盤旋著一幕幕有趣的場景。
