Not his \u003ci\u003eA\u003c\/i\u003es and \u003ci\u003eB\u003c\/i\u003es, not his twos and threes, and certainly not the name of the strange pink creature he finds one day in the dress-up box. His father says it’s a sleepy giraffe, which seems wrong, so the boy sets out to discover the answer. But if all the wisest people in the land can’t tell what the creature is, how is a boy who knows nothing supposed to find out?After his clueless dad identifies it as a “sleepy giraffe,” a boy quests to discover the name of an object found in the family dress-up box. . . . MacKinnon’s suitably wacky illustrations, in a palette of pink, purple, teal, and sienna, present a patently alternative “wild,” with a gamer gnu, a singing owl (complete with mic), and a leotard-wearing dancer giraffe.\u003cbr\u003e—Kirkus Reviews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter a boy finds a strange pink creature in his dress-up box, he goes on a quest to find out what to call his new friend,\u003cbr\u003ebut is dissatisfied with every answer he receives. Bold black lines divide a whimsical palette of green, purple, rust, and\u003cbr\u003eneon pink in illustrations bereft of color blending, evoking the flat, layered sensibility of a mural that depicts his epic\u003cbr\u003ejourney.
