soar to reality?
"At twilight with a blowing breeze
Giraffe strolls through a forest of trees
She lifts her eyes and gazes high
She sees some birds take to the sky
Review: Kiddo really loved this book! She was taken in by the illustrations (especially the humorous ladybug!) and the rhyming story. We made our own music to sing the chorus to and she was entranced with the story. It lead to alot of questions (and counting of spots!), which is always the sign of a great kids book! Kiddo loved having a coloring page at the back of the book, to make it more personalized as well. I highly recommend this book for Summer reading for your kids!

His artistic talent has won him five awards fromthe Bezalel Academy, the Janco-Dada Museum, and the Israel Ministry of Culture. Because Tamir and Noa are cousins, they share many childhood memories.
