Bookroo's summary

Giraffe, longing for a friend, sends a letter across the horizon and finds Penguin. Their correspondence is filled with curious questions about each other's worlds. As they exchange letters, Giraffe imagines what Penguin might be like, leading to humorous misunderstandings. But what happens when these pen pals finally meet? Dive into this charming tale of unexpected friendship and the joy of discovering the unknown.

From the publisher

Giraffe is bored, as usual. He’d love a friend to share things with. So he writes a letter and sends it as far as possible across the other side of the horizon. There he finds a pen pal–Penguin. Giraffe knows nothing about penguins and his letters are full of questions. Where is a penguin’s neck? Can a penguin fly? Penguin answers as best he can. But no one expects what happens when the pen pals come face to face at last. Yours Sincerely, Giraffe is a funny tale of mistaken assumptions and friendship from afar.
