Giraffe is Lost is a chunky, interactive board book from Roger Priddy with fun novelties, cheerful illustrations, and repetitive text that encourages participation. Young children will enjoy helping Giraffe find his dad by going around the zoo lifting flaps and pulling sliders. They will meet a cast of characterful animals―including meerkats, monkeys, and a big gray elephant―and the pull-tabs and flaps reveal funny surprises. The repetitive text encourages kids to join in, and there is a happy and reassuring ending. An excellent addition to any child's first library. A book that will become a favorite with little ones aged 18 months to three years.

Roger Priddy left school at 16 with just one qualification—in art. He went to Berkshire College of Art and Design and trained as an illustrator. His first job in children’s books was working with the publisher Peter Usborne, at Usborne Publishing, and then he worked with Peter Kindersley at Dorling Kindersley, where he spent 16 years. Priddy became Creative Director of DK’s Children’s Division and was Managing Director of the children’s mass market publisher Funfax when it was acquired by DK. In 2000, he created Priddy Books with John Sargent at St Martin’s Press to create innovative and imaginative titles for children, from first books for babies through early reference titles for older children. Since then, over 30 million copies of Roger's 200 plus books have sold worldwide, with five of his books—My Big Animal, My Big Truck, Happy Baby Words, Happy Baby Colors and Puppy and Friends—each selling over one million copies. He is also the author of Big Board First 100 Words; Big Board Books Colors, ABC, Numbers, and Bright Baby Noisy Monsters. His creativity has been recognized with numerous industry awards. Priddy lives in London with his wife Zena and their four children. http://us.macmillan.com/author/rogerp...
