The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me by Roald Dahl
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Roald Dahl....Not a new name for the books lovers. I haven't read his books earlier but have spent all my childhood watching movies inspired by his stories. I have picked a book set of all the books written by Dahl but was having second thought if I would like reading them as they were for children. I was astonished how much I enjoyed reading it. This is a small book with a simple story. Epic elements of personification of three animals and an enthusiastic kid.

The most significant thing is that it took me back to my childhood days. I had a smile the whole I was reading it. This is a must read for all the children but also adults can enjoy it. I wish I could have read it during my school days .

The way of writing was really good . Fantasy books have a tough work to create a imaginary world for you and have you believe in it. Dahl have done this very effectively . one will easily be transported to another universe where the animals taking was not a big deal.

There was not much of a story , with any twist and turns but this book is for children. We cant expect this to be super exciting . The language was also very basic suitable for a 9 yrs old which servers the intention.

Overall I rate this book a 4*.
