Here is a great reference for anyone looking to learn more about Giraffes.

I'm so sorry for your family's loss. May I ask how old your niece was? If she was close in age to your daughter, that may be extra scary for her. It's much harder for kids to process a death when it breaks the neat tidy narrative of "when people get very old their bodies stop working and they die."

I would focus on how rare car accidents are, and how most of the time you can prevent them by driving safely. Help her think about the many, many times she has ridden in a car and nothing bad has happened. Also remind her that even when car accidents do happen, most of the time they just hurt the car, not the people inside it. Show her safety features on the car, like the airbags and seatbelts and her car seat. Reassure her that you will do everything you possibly can to keep her safe.

Also, continue to validate her feelings and help her grieve - even though she didn't know her cousin well, it's still a sad and scary experience for her to process. Most of the children's books out there about death are focused on the death of a pet or an older relative, so there aren't many I can recommend for this situation, but you might try Chester Raccoon and the Acorn Full of Memories in which Chester's friend from school dies in an unspecified accident and the other students remember him. It's more focused on sadness than feelings of anxiety, though, so may be less helpful if she's just scared at this point. You could try more general books about worries such as Is a Worry Worrying You?, When Worry Takes Hold, or Jonathan James and the What If Monster.

great book

Super cute! You should felt a tiny muffin for him!! <3

I like this one better: /Owen-Mzee-Story-Remarkable-Friendship

I have another one to add to the bedtime story queue!

I didn't have that one, but my favorite book as a kid was by Mercer Mayer as well! [What Do You Do With A Kangaroo?] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0606146245/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_6ICXDbNVJ550R)

If You Give A Moose A Muffin

I love The Little Book of Hygge - it's a fun read!

You might also like The Cozy Life. It is very similar.

I also enjoyed The Nordic Theory of Everything. It's not about hygge particularly. It's more about relationships and Danish culture/lifestyles, but it's a nice read.

And this might be an odd recommendation, but I love to read children's books like [The Christmas Wish] (https://www.amazon.com/Christmas-Wish-Lori-Evert/dp/0449816818), The Polar Express, and The Snowman - and not just at Christmastime! They're a great way to spend 15 minutes relaxing by the window on a cool, rainy evening.

Happy reading!

It is a book:
Owen & Mzee: The True Story of a Remarkable Friendship

If you are upset that these are just dust covers and you want to read entire books chock-a-block full of similar hilarity and wit, I could recommend books in the Haggis-On-Whey World of Unbelievable Brilliance series.

Giraffes? Giraffes!

Animals of the Ocean: In Particular the Giant Squid

Your Disgusting Head: The Darkest, Most Offensive and Moist Secrets of Your Ears, Mouth and Nose

Cold Fusion: The Haggis-on-Whey World of Unbelievable Brilliance

The Kissing Hand, maybe? It's very tangentially related to what you described, but worth a shot.

I was never read to as a child but I just looked up on amazon children books and got a bunch! got this and a bunch of this series and this

Giraffes? Giraffes!

http://www.amazon.com/Cows-America-Carmen-Agra-Deedy/dp/1561454907
This childrens book.

That reference is so obscure yet so relevant

Duh, get this Red Panda adult sized costume!

Your marker drawings ARE really freakin' good, but I live in Wisconsin, and paper burns fast (lol), and so to stay warm I need a scarf! I like bright, fun, colorful patterns or colors, so a few colors blocked or striped together would be a fun scarf!

Thanks for the contest! I won a Jayne (Firefly) hat from someone else earlier in the year, and it was my FIRST hand-crocheted item! I'd be so excited to get another! Thanks a lot!

EDIT! I just saw someone else posted my fun item, so I'm coming back to give you this cute Sloth book! Enjoy!

I read the book advertised at the end of the video. It's pretty good.

sounds like it's from Giraffes? Giraffes!

Seriously my favourite children's book. You'll be hard pressed to find one cuter than this.

People...Please. This is nothing like Bunnicula. Bunnicula was a black and white rabbit with red eyes. See. This is just one pissed off bunny.

Immediately thought of the book Giraffes? Giraffes!

That is an excellent question.

After a quick search I must say, most likely. Or at least I'm praying to be.

> For many years the scientific and educational community has wondered and worried about the possibility that semi-sane scholar pretenders would find the means to put out a series of reference books aimed at children but filled with ludicrous misinformation. These books would be distributed through respectable channels and would inevitably find their way into the hands and households of well-meaning families, who would go to them for facts but instead find bizarre untruths. The books would look normal enough, but would read as if written by people who have eaten too many lead-based paint chips.
Well, sadly, that day is upon us. We offer to you the first in a proposed series of 377 reference books, all written by a couple, Dr. and Mr. Doris Haggis-on-Whey, married 50 years and now getting their chance to twist and tickle the brains of the impressionable.

> Giraffes? Giraffes! is the first in the series, and puts forth the following novel theories: that giraffes were not part of any evolutionary chain, but came here from Neptune, by way of very long (but convenient and fast) escalators; that giraffes are expert dancers, but they become angry if you ask them about their dancing; that giraffes control over 90% of what we see in mirrors; that the Giraffe Navy is as strong as ever, contrary to recent claims in the popular press.

> This is a book to be feared. If you have young people in your life, keep it far away from them.

> Giraffes? Giraffes! is a 9" x 12" hardcover reference book, with 64 lavishly-illustrated pages, and includes a set of giraffe trading cards carefully attached to the inside back cover. Cover is blue faux-leather, de-bossed with gold foil detail and a special 4-color illustration.

Chester Raccoon and the Acorn Full of Memories is a good choice.

Humphrey came home. :D

Read "Bread and Jam for Frances" together. This book was written 50 years ago and you can see that children today are no different from children two generations ago. http://www.amazon.com/Bread-Jam-Frances-Read-Book/dp/0060838000

Silverwing series by Kenneth Oppal

If you like this band, you check out the nonsense book they are named after!

https://www.amazon.com/Giraffes-HOW-Doris-Haggis-Whey/dp/1932416978

Also, they have american apparel tri-blend t-shirts in their store. The most comfortable shirt I've ever worn.

He looks like he came straight out of that children’s book “The Kissing Hand”

Relevant!

It's called "The Christmas Wish" by Lori Evert.

Hope you're good with baking muffins. I heard they like them

http://www.amazon.com/Cows-America-Carmen-Agra-Deedy/dp/1561454907

Not sure if it exactly your criteria but it was a lovely read about compassion from another people and culture.

I think OP is confusing the titles of the book you are referring to, and its sequel "If you give a moose a muffin" http://www.amazon.com/If-You-Give-Moose-Muffin/dp/0060244054

Have you read Giraffes? Giraffes! ?

edit: forgot to link to the book itself

Love these! I might need to own one. Do you sell on etsy? I can see you doing really well there.

The tone reminds me of one of my favorite-ever books: Giraffes? GIRAFFES!

Clearly the grittier retelling of everyone's favorite novel

Oh they were great books! Silverwing is the first one, and Sunwing is the second. They're by Ken Oppel. It's about a bat who loses his way on migration. They get pretty gruesome for kids books (cannibalism and mentions of blood and stuff), but I read them at age ten-ish and I just found them exciting. The third book I just found last year, called Firewing. I didn't like that one at all =P

[There's a children's picture book about that story.] (http://www.amazon.com/Cows-America-Carmen-Agra-Deedy/dp/1561454907/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1347423732&sr=8-3&keywords=9%2F11+cows)

What other children's books about food would you recommend? I always get hungry reading the Frances books.

Anything by Stephen Michael King not the horror author. The Lighthouse Keeper's books. The Diary of a Wombat (and related books). Anamalia.

Aside from those, go to the library and let your daughter pick some. Soon you'll find ones that you both love.

"Giraffes? Giraffes!" by Dr. Haggis-on-Whey

I don't know how to describe it. It's not so much a book as an assault on your brain. It will not make sense, but it will make you laugh.

http://www.amazon.com/Giraffes-HOW-Doris-Haggis---Whey/dp/1932416978/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1321222377&sr=1-1

You're all wrong, it's just called bread and jam - as immortalized in the popular children's book by Lillian Hoban called "Bread and Jam for Frances" -

http://www.amazon.com/Bread-Jam-Frances-Read-Level/dp/0060838000

and yes, I call it bread even if it's toasted.

Who pooped on my head? or The Story of the Little Mole Who Went in Search of Whodunit

And then a Canadian children's author wrote about this tactic from the bat's point of view in 'Sunwing'.
It is for war in the near future with South America, but based on the WW2 program.

A good book series for any young readers you know.

Except that it's a little girl, it sounds like What Would You Do With a Kangaroo?

https://www.amazon.com/What-Do-You-Kangaroo/dp/0606146245

Just read that book to my kid last night. Now I will think of this next time I get to the "Llama drama" quote.

Giraffes? Giraffes!

Get something bilingual at least ...

Try Amazon, they're quick:
Am I Small? Hl Ana Sghyrh?: Children's Picture Book English-Arabic (Dual Language/Bilingual Edition)
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1499506791/

To add to that, there's a book I like called The Kissing Hand that helps with separation anxiety. It's about a mama raccoon putting a kiss in her baby's hand before school when he's scared. And she tells him that anytime he's lonely or scared, he can just put his hand on his cheek and get a kiss from mom and know that she loves him.

That could be a helpful tradition to start every morning before drop off.

What about If You Give a Moose a Muffin?

Read the description Giraffes? Giraffes! (HOW) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1932416978/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ycdqDb2ZN42H3

EDIT: I dont know why the format isn't working, but if I fiddle with it anymore I'm gonna be angry.

Here is the desktop version of your link

If you don't already own it, you REALLY need a copy of this book. It contains a wealth of knowledge on the giraffe, from when they first arrived on this planet via conveyor belt on through to their first Nobel Prize win. Of course it also covers the basics like how their necks work, what their spots mean, their roll in the oil crisis, and why they settled in Haute Terre Indiana.

As someone who grew up in the Bay Area that sure does look like a humpback.

I recommend you read the Training Manual first.
