Josephine

  • Interest Level: Preschool
  • Reading Level: Grade 1

Little yellow giraffe Josephine is out and about—eyes wide open and muzzle in the air. She pokes her nose into the blue and her hooves into the green, plays with the clouds and makes rings in the water. The world is so full of interesting things!

Take a walk with Josephine to explore shapes and patterns, near and far, nature through the seasons, things that are different and things that are the same.

Illustrated with simple lines and printed with a happy pop of neon yellow, this unique book makes simple but enchanting connections that let us see the world afresh through Josephine’s eyes.
