A review by ljrinaldi
Nonnie and I by Savannah Hendricks

3.0

This is a bright, colorful picture book about a little girl in Botswana whose only friend is a giraffe. When she has to go to school, she has to make new friends, as does her giraffe, Nonnie.

The pictures of the giraffe are beautiful, as are the pictures of the wildlife that can be found in Botswana.

The only problem I have with this book is the little girl riding the giraffe around. I don't think Nonnie, the giraffe would be too comfortable with this, and I don't think the girl would be either. Other than that, this is a fine book about making friends at school, although the girl is a bit rude about it.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
