Giraffes in My Closet

Giraffes in My Closet tells the tale of three giraffes who find their home in a closet when an unsuspecting boy accidentally leaves his closet door open one night. That night, Mildred, Seth and Emily sneak inside and take up residence in his closet. And once inside, the boy discovers that these gentle giants who often feel awkward and are really quite shy, quickly become comfortable in their new home, their new hiding place, and are almost impossible to get out.
