The Giraffe and the Pelly and Me is another of Roald"s books for younger readers. It started out with three characters, but no story. The Ladderless Window-Cleaning Company has just moved in to the old wooden house not far from where Billy lives. He"d rather have a wonderful sweet-shop, but when he meets the members of the Company - the Giraffe, the Pelican and the Monkey - he can"t believe his eyes.
