Georgina the Giraffe by An Vrombaut


Should your child (or grandchild) be an avid viewer of CBeebies then they are probably familiar with the TV show “64 Zoo Lane”. If they love the TV show then getting this book, or one of the others in the series, is a no-brainer.

This book has nice wide pages with colourful pictures on them that match the art from the TV show. Inside is the story of Georgina the Giraffe, but also the lyrics to the theme song from the TV show so that you can sing along to that too.

Georgina the Giraffe is probably one of the favourite animals at the zoo because it is always she that lets Lucy slide down her neck to come into the zoo every night for her bedtime story, as told by one of the animals.

Georgina’s story (which matches one of the TV episodes) is of how she got her neck in a knot one day and so had to see the knot doctor. It is a funny story because everyone knows giraffes in real-life can’t get knots in their necks, and also because of the pictures. For example when she gets to the knot doctor she has to queue in line behind lots of other animals with knotty problems of their own, e.g. a chameleon who has a knot in a place you’d expect.

All in all this is a perfect companion to the TV show.

(I got this book through Amazon Vine. It is listed HERE.)
