Synopsis
A little girl disagrees with her parents' assertion that their fellow apartment dwellers -- a motley crew of crocodiles, elephants, dogs, and bears -- are strange!, Living in an apartment building can sometimes mean sharing walls with a host of characters -- but what about with crocodiles, elephants, and bears? Much to her delight, this is the motley crew that one little girl finds herself living amongst. Her parents, however, find all their new neighbors to be a little strange. While the little girl is enjoying the saxophone music her friendly dog neighbor plays, her parents bemoan the hair he leaves all over the stairs. When the little girl is grateful for the car wash her helpful elephant neighbors provide, her parents complain of the size of their sheets on the clothesline. It turns out the girl's parents have a good reason to look down on everyone -- they're giraffes Fed up with their unconventional neighbors, these stuck-up parents decide to move away. But the girl vows to return to live in the building again once she grows up, which is a decision her neighbors don't find strange at all, Living in an apartment building can sometimes mean sharing walls with a host of characters -- but what about with crocodiles, elephants, dogs, and bears?

- v***v (2054)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
