A giraffe that lives in Africa meets a pelican who is a mailman. Since the giraffe is bored, she sends a letter to the first animal the pelican can find on the other side of the horizon. The letter passes on to a seal who gives it to a penguin. He reads the letter and even though he does not understand it he writes back, and becomes the giraffe's pen pal. Although they do not know what each other looks like, the giraffe decides to meet her new friend disguised as a penguin! 521 $a Primary $b National Library of New Zealand. 521 8 $a 510 $b Lexile. 546 $a Translated from the Japanese. 650 1 $a Giraffe $z Africa $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Pen pals $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Penguins $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Animals $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Letters $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Children's stories. 700 1 $a Takabatake, Jun $e illustrator. 700 1 $i Translation of: $a Iwasa, Megumi, $d 1958- $t Boku wa Afurika ni sumu kirin to iimasu. 941 $a 12 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409025604.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305021417.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207013222.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012021626.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909043508.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518021550.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717033444.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20190618013137.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006104503.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20171130010059.0 952 $l KOPC446 $d 20170509010525.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20170412022535.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7C4CD3581B5711E78A3D6CA5DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
